Thiago Alcantara can equal incredible Clarence Seedorf record with Liverpool win in Champions League

Liverpool are at it again in Europe. A 3-2 come-from-behind victory against Villarreal on Tuesday evening secured an aggregate 5-2 win for the Reds that is sending them to their third Champions League final in five years.

The Reds will pick up an historic seventh European Cup should they manage to defeat either Manchester City or Real Madrid in Paris on May 28, but if they do, one player in particular will be able to create his own piece of history. Midfielder Thiago Alcantara is one of the most decorated players in European football, having won countless titles with both Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but a Champions League victory in the French capital will elevate him to an ultra-exclusive club.

Should Thiago help steer Liverpool to victory in the final he will become only the second player in history to win the Champions League with three different clubs, emulating the record currently held by Dutch star Clarence Seedorf.
