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.
Liverpool.What a nice day! Thank you for your lovely welcome
