April was a successful month for Liverpool, with 7 wins out of 9 matches in all competitions. The Reds won comfortably at home against Manchester United and Everton. They also defeated Manchester City at Wembley to secure a FA Cup final spot and progressed to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Thiago played a key role in all these matches.

“It was kind of a new engagement with the stadium itself and how we had to prepare for the games. It was like training, but seriously – it was real.”
“But now with fans again and especially at Anfield, it’s completely different. You know the fans are really here, involved in the game. It’s an important part for all of us.”
Liverpool still have three crucial games to play before the season ends. It is expected that Thiago will play a key role in the final run-in to help the Reds finish strong. The first of those matches is against Southampton today, details of when and how to watch the match can be found HERE.
