Liverpool star Thiago Alcantara sends cryptic message with Philippe Coutinho post

Thiago Alcantara has posted a cryptic message involving a former Liverpool player.

Prior to joining Liverpool last summer, Thiago established himself as one of the world’s best midfielders at Bayern Munich.

He played a pivotal role in helping the Bundesliga giants win the Champions League last year, and did so with the help of former Red Philippe Coutinho.

The Brazilian joined Bayern on a season-long loan from Barcelona for the 2019/20 campaign, and famously scored against his parent club in the semi-final last term.

Thiago has remained good friends with Coutinho after the pair left Bayern last summer, and now the Liverpool midfielder has posted a cryptic message involving the former Red.

While clubs are on a hiatus for international duty, the players not with their respective countries are enjoying a mini-break at the start of the campaign.

Thiago was not selected by the Spain national team, while Coutinho was not picked for Brazil.

The Liverpool No.6 posted a picture on Twitter of himself posing alongside Coutinho, along with the caption: “matando a saudade”, which translates to “killing the longing” from Spanish.

Thiago has made one appearance so far for Liverpool this season, coming off the bench as a substitute for the latter stages of the draw with Chelsea last weekend.
