The Spaniard moved to Anfield in 2020, coming in as one of Europe’s best midfielders, and there was real hope that he would take the team to the next level. Sadly, injuries ultimately defined Thiago’s four-year spell at Liverpool, but there were still majestic performances thrown in, as well as plenty of heart shown.

Speaking on ‘Beyond the persona’ [via This Is Anfield], the 35-year-old has brilliantly outlined why the Reds are different to anyone else he played for in his career: “It’s a worker city and we mention a lot to everybody that asks me about Liverpool, why the crowd or the fans are with the team.

He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
