More injury woe for Thiago Alcantara and Bayern - UEFA Champions League - News - UEFA.com

Thiago Alcantara has suffered another injury setback which will keep him outside “in the long term” according to FC Bayern Munchen after tearing knee ligaments.

The Spain midfielder hasn’t played since March because of the same harm and just returned to team preparing six days past before breaking down. “What could I say? I’m clearly greatly disappointed and distressed,” said the 23-year old former FC Barcelona player. “Why always me? But I’ll not give up. I am going to fight again. I am going to get back again. And I am going to observe my comeback at Bayern.”

It turned out to be a wonderful second, not simply as it was the very first time I Had scored in the Champions League, but also as it was significant.”

Here Paul Simpson, editor of Champions Matchday magazine, takes his pick of six of the greatest exponents of the position.

Gyula GrosicsPlaying behind a more unstable back four in the great Hungarian side of the early 1950s, Grosics learned to roll the ball outside, as it was more precise than kicking it upfield. Shortly, strikers Ferenc Puskas and Nandor Hidegkuti began dropping back to gather the ball. Grosics, who won 86 caps and revolutionised goalkeeping, expired in June this year in the age of 88.
