Thiago Alcantara of Liverpool FC, recently traveled to Munich for Oktoberfest with his wife Júlia Vigas to celebrate the world’s largest Volksfest in Bavaria, Germany.
Before signing for the Reds for £20 million, he played for Bayern Munich from 2013 until 2020. The 31-year-old has had a season marred by injuries thus far. Recall that he was forced off against Fulham in the season opener due to a hamstring issue.
He did, however, make a triumphant comeback to the starting lineup. He turned in a player of the match performance in the 2–1 Champions League victory over Ajax on September 13.
Due to his absence from the Spain squad for the next international matches, Thiago can now take a lengthy break before LFC’s next match against Brighton.
During the break, Thiago and his wife Julia Vigas visited their previous hometown. The delighted pair celebrated the festivities of the renowned beer festival in traditional Bavarian garb.
The post’s caption read: “Always a Bavarian. Oktoberfest in München.”
Manuel Neuer, an ex-teammate, said: “Looks good my friend!”
As they anticipated the goalkeeper’s return to Merseyside, supporters swarmed the comments section to support him.
Thomas also said “Very adorable couple. We adore your beautiful classy outfit.”
