Paul Robinson has heaped praise on the “unbelievable” Thiago Alcantara after Liverpool thrashed Man United on Tuesday night.

The impressive display cam just days after Thiago helped Jurgen Klopp’s side book their place in the FA Cup final.
As shown on Liverpool’s Instagram (18 April), Thiago produced a pass to Mohamed Salah in the second half of that game which particularly impressed Robinson.
“Thiago is an unbelievable player,” he told Football Insider‘s Dylan Childs. “A world-class player.
“That pass in the second half [v Man City], wow. He has been the best player on the pitch in the last couple of matches.
“I thought he was a great signing when he first joined but it was a stop-start season for him last year. This year he has had his injuries again.
“His vision, energy, engine, athleticism and intelligence is there for all to see. He brings something a little bit different to that midfield when he plays. It is that extra bit of quality. He is on another level.”
