In the 13 Premier League matches Thiago Alcantara has started this season, Liverpool have won 13, drawn one (Manchester City), scored 41 goals and conceded only four.Â
After joining Liverpool from Bayern Munich, the Spaniard’s debut season was marred by injury.Â
Many football fans began to refer to Thiago as a flop, which now appears to be ludicrous.Â
The La Masia graduate has been in superb form since the turn of the year, and he is a key reason why Liverpool are chasing an unprecedented quadruple.Â
Thiago was the best player on the pitch in the FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City, and he did it again in the Premier League against Manchester United on Tuesday.Â
In a 4-0 loss at Anfield, the 31-year-old put on a midfield clinic that had Liverpool’s fierce rivals begging for mercy.Â
Thiago was all over the place, and some of his decoy line-breaking passes from deep were ridiculously brilliant.Â
His performance included a slew of smooth dribbles as well as some tenacious defense. It has everything a midfielder should have and more.Â
However, when it comes to Thiago’s performance against United, words can only go so far; visual evidence is also required.Â
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the maestro’s outrageous individual highlights from another unforgettable evening at Anfield.Â
What an incredible performance by Thiago, who received a standing ovation and a huge hug from Jurgen Klopp. It’s incredible that a player of this caliber only cost Liverpool £25 million.Â
Thiago’s masterclass was lauded to the skies on social media, with Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher in the Sky Sports commentary box drooling over his brilliance.
It is not a surprise Liverpool are yet to lose a Premier League game in which Thiago has started this season.
