Champion Liverpool is going into the new season as a favourite – but not without risks. Why Thiago is still to come is clear.
Until August 23 at 10: 53 p.m., Liverpool FC was officially everything at once: the best team in England, Europe and the world. Then Daniele Orsato whistled off the Champions League final. Jürgen Klopp congratulated FC Bayern on the title, but also on the “sensationally stocked” squad with “absolute world-class players in all positions”. He’d like one of those now.
But does a team that scored 97 points in the past two seasons, then 99 points, which became champion with 18 points advantage, which has not lost a league home game for three seasons and since Philippe Coutinho in January 2018 no longer a champion – need this team Thiago? At least it soon becomes clear why Liverpool has been associated with the 29-year-old Spaniard for weeks.
