Liverpool signed Spain midfielder Thiago Alcantara from European champions Bayern Munich on this day in 2020.
The Spain international was in the last year of his deal with the Bundesliga club and arrived at Anfield for an initial fee of £20million.
Thiago’s signing had been anticipated by supporters for some time and he went straight into the squad to face Chelsea, playing 45 minutes in a 2-0 win.
Thiago told the club’s website: “I think it’s an amazing feeling.
“I was waiting for this moment for a long time and I am very, very happy to be here.
“When the years are passing, you are trying to win as much as you can – and when you win, you want to win more.
“I think this club describes what I am as well. I want to achieve all of the goals, win as many trophies as possible.
“It also (has) this kind of family (feeling) that I need because we (like to) have a very close relationship with the club and I think I will feel this, I will have this feeling, with this club as well.”
Thiago, who played in Liverpool’s FA Cup final success in 2022, has made 97 appearances in his injury-hit three years at Anfield.

Small thinkers Supporters can say they wanted on Alcantara Thiago but is his legs is okay no injuries no middle fielders in EPL and other leagues can keep him on bench/ but we are free to talk on him and football/ thanks.

He is an incredible player skillful when playing as a midfield perhaps his injury record is obvious we can't hope on him 😏

This reminds me of this gem from Wayne Rooney. Sometimes life takes such an unexpected turn that things turn out exactly opposite of what you had expected.
