#AskThiago: Liverpool midfield maestro answers fans’ questions on Gerrard, Alonso and funniest teammate

Five months after he agreed to join Liverpool from Bayern Munich in a €26m transfer fee, Thiago Alcantara sat down to answer the questions of the club’s faithful.

Thiago Alcantara has claimed that he couldn’t pick between Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso and would rather ‘pick both’, before adding that both were legends at ‘this club’.
