Thiago Alcantara talked up the "amazing ambience" of Liverpool's squad after they beat Villarreal 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
An own goal from Pervis Estupinan from Jordan Henderson's cross was added to by Sadio Mane's 20th of the season to put the Reds firmly in control of their destiny ahead of the second leg in Spain next week.
It was a night when an in-form Thiago once again shone in midfield. The former Barcelona man is arguably in his best form in a Liverpool shirt having the club joined from Bayern Munich in September 2020.
