'Makes me fall in love with football all over again': LFC fans rave over Thiago's perfect pass in City win

There's very little doubt now that we are witnessing an exceptional Liverpool team, with its squad probably the strongest ever. Still, some individuals keep stealing the limelight.

Take Thiago, for example. The Spaniard has come into form and showed why Liverpool decided to step away from their recruitment policy and sign him in 2020.

One particular episode from the Man City game made the Liverpool fans rave on social media.

Here, Thiago had to contest the ball with Mahrez but still managed to control it with his chest.

After that, he only went and made a 60-yeard pass to find Salah on the run - you can see Mo on the left side of the screenshot below.

And just look where Salah received the pass!

No wonder the fans are astounded by Thiago's technique - not for the first time, either.

Empire of the Kop, Twitter: "Still can't believe how good of a footballer Thiago is. Wow"

flipflan1, Reddit: "It's an unbelievable team but he is something else. Always always so composed allied with a ridiculous amount of skill"

Dan Barton, Twitter: "Scans, receives on the chest to setup next action, shields it from the opponent, recognises space 50 yards away, plays outside of boot pass to Salah. How many players would just head this away? Not Thiago!"

LFCApproved, Twitter: "That random outside the foot pass by Thiago across the field to Salah was crazy. Left you in awe at the same time as thinking 'you are just showing off at this point'."

AANino23, Reddit: "This guy was insane today. Everything he did showed why he is a cut above the rest"

thespecial01, Twitter: "Perfect chest control then pings it into Salah’s stride with a trivela. Thiago Alcantara makes me fall in love with football all over again."
