The internet has once again produced a video that has become a trend, as it describes a huge gesture in world football. On this occasion, the protagonist of our team Liverpool FC, who, after this huge gesture made a few days ago at Anfield, won the applause, recognition and good comments from thousands of cybernauts who wrote that there are still gentlemen in the world.

During the final game of the 22/23 Champions League group stage, where the Reds hosted SSC Napoli at home, Thiago Alcántara made a huge gesture of chivalry before kick-off, as he took off his training jacket and gave it to a girl who belonged to the Champions League protocol.

The Spanish midfielder's surprising gesture made the little girl turn around and blush, as she could not believe what the world star had done for her. And before the admiration of the other children, who in the video can also be seen to be incredulous, they proceeded to applaud Thiago, who was recognised by his teammates such as Salah, Jones, Firmino, among others, while listening to the UEFA Champions League anthem.

That night the Red's shone on the pitch, and with agonising goals from Mo Salah (85') and Darwin Núñez (98'), they snatched an unbeaten record from the Italians, who despite the defeat remained top of Group A on goal difference. This meant that in the draw a few days ago, Liverpool, who qualified for the Round of 16 as runners-up, will be facing reigning champions Real Madrid again, reliving the last final of the tournament in Paris, France.

Thiago shows his quality off the pitch

Despite Alcantara's character, class and values, they were not considered by Spanish coach Luis Enrique who left him out of his final 26-man squad for the World Cup in Qatar. Thiago, who has had a semester of ups and downs due to injuries, was still hoping to be in his second World Cup, once he participated in Russia 2018 with 'La Furia', where he played two games; Portugal and Morocco.
