# Liverpool: Fans react to Thiago’s performance for Spain

**A number of Liverpool supporters have been praising Thiago’s latest performance for Spain, with the midfielder impressing for his country.**

The 29-year-old was a hugely exciting [arrival](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54199589) from Bayern Munich last September, having won the Champions League in 2019/20 and been one of the best midfielders in Europe.

It hasn’t been a dream start to life at Liverpool for Thiago yet, though, with a long [injury layoff](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/thiago/verletzungen/spieler/60444) curtailing his progress during the autumn and winter.

Not only that, but the Spaniard has also been playing for a Reds side with no confidence and with central midfielders often [playing at centre-back](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-henderson-fabinho-centre-back-23430783).

Despite a slightly underwhelming first year on Merseyside, there is no denying that Thiago is a wonderful footballer, though.

On Sunday night, the midfielder was introduced as a substitute in Spain’s 2-1 win away to Georgia, as the international break continues.

He produced an eye-catching cameo from the bench, helping turn the match around and outlining his quality on the ball ([36 passes completed in 35 minutes](https://www.sofascore.com/georgia-spain/YTbsnVb)) and reminding Liverpool fans what they can expect when he is on top form.

His performance suggests that he could be primed to have a big impact once Jurgen Klopp and his players reconvene later this week, ahead of Saturday’s trip to Arsenal.

### Liverpool fans hail Thiago’s display

Here’s how some Reds fans reacted on Twitter to Thiago’s latest performance, with one Kopite describing it as “brilliant”.
