Liverpool star Thiago Alcantara's wife sends Anfield message after midfielder's performance

Wife of Liverpool star Thiago Alcantara was thrilled after her husband's majestic display during the win over Manchester United.

Julia Vigas was in attendance as the Reds comprehensively defeated their fierce rivals 4-0 at Anfield last night. Thiago pulled the strings from midfield as goals from Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane took Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League.

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.

Speaking after the match, the 31-year-old was probed over whether his display was his best in a red shirt, but admitted that's not for him to judge. He said: "I think it is one of the strongest performances the team did here at Anfield. The first half was unbelievable, also the second - we were high level for 90 minutes."

Away from the pitch, Thiago has been married to Julia Vigas since 2015 - and the couple share two children named Siena and Gabriel. Julia regularly shows her support for her husband with her 150k Instagram followers.

She was in attendance last night and shared a snap from the Main Stand. She captioned the post: "What a night."

Fans flooded the comments to praise Thiago's performance. Nicky posted: "Thiago was outstanding tonight, as always"

@Dharlfc added: "Tell him to get your slippers off he's just ran the show". Gemma commented : "Thiago is something else"

Jay said: "We are lucky to have you and the family here." Charlotte posted: "Your husband Julia. What a player he is. Absolutely ran the show tonight. UP THE REDS!!"
