Liverpool's Anfield home is no stranger to high drama and poignant moments, but Saturday's Legends charity match provided a particularly touching scene as Thiago Alcantara struggled to contain his emotions. Thiago was reduced to tears on an emotional return to Anfield as Liverpool Legends paid tribute to the late Diogo Jota. The Spaniard was back on Merseyside for the annual LFC Foundation charity match, taking on Borussia Dortmund.

Thiago Alcantara has started his new role as Barcelona assistant coach under Hansi Flick, bringing his vision and experience to the first-team setup.

Thiago Alcantara has returned to Barcelona and is set to become part of Hansi Flick’s coaching staff once his contract is finalised.

Barcelona are working to re-appoint Thiago Alcantara to Hansi Flick’s coaching team as the club resolve financial hurdles blocking his return.
