Despite his injuries, Thiago Alcántara do Nascimento remains one of the world's top players with excellent vision, making him one of the best midfielders in the game today. A recent study revealed that the Spaniard's playing ability is one of the most complete, to the extent that he is an important player for any club that has him in its ranks.

The playing ability of the three-time UEFA Champions League winner is impressive, as his passes give his team-mates complete freedom to score. The study made by a European media justifies Thiago as a deep playmaker, whose skills excel in dominating and handling the ball in midfield.

The study compared Thiago to the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr, both Paris Saint-Germain stars. In addition to them, Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne and Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich rounded out the list, making the Spanish player one of the top active assisters in Europe's top leagues.

Thiago, who arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2020 at the request of head coach Jürgen Klopp, recently returned to action following his muscle injury in the opening game of the 2022-2023 season against Fulham, where he played just 50 minutes before coming on as a substitute and missing five league games, including the derby against Manchester United, where he was missed in the 2-1 defeat.
