# Liverpool: Fans laud Thiago after Reds finish third

**A number of Liverpool supporters have been hailing Thiago’s brilliance following a hugely influential end to the season for the Reds.**

Jurgen Klopp’s men may have experienced a difficult campaign, but they ended it in strong fashion, sealing a [third-placed finish](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table) in the Premier League. Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, coupled with Chelsea and Leicester City losing, completed an achievement which looked highly unlikely back in March after they had [lost six successive home games](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56227460).

The Reds [won eight and drew two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/spielplan/verein/31) of their final 10 league matches, with a number of players going up a gear having disappointed earlier in the season. One of those was Thiago, who was [arguably *the* exceptional performer](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/74939/MatchStatistics/Thiago) in the latter weeks of 2020/21, playing brilliantly against Palace once again.

The 30-year-old posted a 91% passing accuracy rate and played nine accurate long balls yesterday, along with winning five tackles and 12 duels in a fantastic all-round performance ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-liverpool/hsU)).

The Spaniard posted on his [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Thiago6/status/1396539576848719878?s=20) page after Sunday’s win, admitting that it has been a strange season but one which ultimately ended well.
