Thiago has revealed that he is looking forward to meeting Sergio Ramos in the Champions League quarter-final clash.
“It’s great to play with Sergio. The years go by and you keep learning from him, he keeps evolving, he still wants to compete, his main feature is this ambition,” he said.
“This struggle and he passes it on to us in the national team and we can learn from a guy who with so much success and with so much recognition in football still wants more.
“I love having Sergio in the national team as a partner and when we are rivals, then he will be my rival.
“We have received the match with all the respect in the world, with respect for a knockout of a Champions League quarterfinal, wanting to be able to play the matches.
“It is a wonderful competition, against a fantastic team. We face Real Madrid with the respect we owe.”
Thiago also revealed it was an easy choice to choose Liverpool as his next club last year.
“When I got the call, it was an easy choice,” he said.
“But it was a difficult decision whether I should really leave Bayern. In the end it happened and I’m very happy.”
Thiago also told AS: “Leaving Bayern gave me the chance to learn about the Premier League.”
