A couple of Liverpool and Manchester City players demonstrated their extraordinary ability this afternoon.

Thiago Alcantara of Liverpool and Sky Blues star Rodri offered a masterclass in their long-range passing and control skills.

The duo are gearing up to represent Spain in a friendly against Portugal tonight ahead of countries’ Euro 2020 campaign this summer.

Hours before the game, the Liverpool midfielder and Rodri were filmed pinging the ball to one another from 30 yards and expertly – and effortlessly – keeping it from hitting the turf.

Here’s how some fans of the Anfield club reacted on Twitter:

Outrageous talent

Liverpool signed the Spanish maestro in a £20 million deal from Bayern Munich last summer.

And although it was quite a mixed first year at Anfield, the former Barcelona starlet did ultimately prove his class toward the end of the campaign.

Thiago seems like one of those players who will just get better and better the more he adapts to Premier League football.

And it is quite fascinating to see how he much better he’ll be under Jurgen Klopp next season.

As this video proves, the talent level is just outrageous.
