Liverpool FC are set to take on Chelsea in the FA Cup final later today.
Thiago Alcantara has played a key role this season as the Reds hunt for an unprecedented quadruple. The 31-year-old put in a supreme display the last time Jurgen Klopp's side played at Wembley.
Thiago pulled the strings in midfield as Liverpool defeated Manchester City 3-2 to book their place in today's game. It is the second time Liverpool FC will take on Chelsea in a final this season as the two faced off against one another in the Carabao Cup's showpiece match in February.

Thiago was set to start the game, but had to pull out moments before kick off after he suffered an injury in the warm up. The midfield maestro will be hoping he is more fortunate this afternoon as he aims to continue his impressive form.
Thiago is regularly supported on the field by his wife Julia Vigas. One of Thiago's most acclaimed displays of the season came in the 4 -0 demolition of Manchester United.
The Spain international's masterful performance earned him the Carlsberg player of the match award, as well as a perfect 10 in the ECHO ratings - and he received a thunderous standing ovation from the Anfield faithful when he was substituted in the 80th minute.
Julia was in attendance at the game and was gushing with price after her husband's performance. She shared a snap from the game and captioned the post; "What a night."
Julia has been married to Thiago since 2015 and works as the president of the Alcantara Family Foundation. The charity's aim is to "support people in vulnerable situations to contribute to their personal and social development" and delivers projects such as the social sports program.
They also partly finance the Hosting Home project, which "welcomes 35 asylum seekers, humanitarian immigrants and former ward youth in street situations and accompanies them in a personal growth process and emotional accompaniment to enhance your integration into society."
Thiago and Julia share two children named Siena and Gabriela. The midfielder shared an adorable snap of his two children after Liverpool FC defeated Leicester City 2 - 0 in February.
Fans were gushing over the cute picture and flooded the comments to make the same point that Gabriel is the spitting image of his dad. Syed said: "like father like son. maestro!"
Martyn added: "Mini me's" Rosso commented: "No doubt who Dad is - spitting image"
Alison posted : "He’s the double of you. Both gorgeous" Tara messaged: "mini you"
Eamon said: "Your son is a mini you"
