Xabi Alonso's Liverpool FC story | In his own words 

Dude was a magician. The most underrated player in the history of the Premier League. He's one of the best midfielders I've ever seen.

Miss the Alonso & Gerrard partnership

It’s time Xabi ❤ come home!!!

Xabi was the reason I started supporting Liverpool

Benitez made a huge mistake when he sold him. Imagine him playing now as our CDM and becoming our captain. Best of Luck Xabi, you're a living legend!

A fantastic footballer, Fantastic passing, Fantastic vision, Fantastic defensive positioning, Great eye for a killer pass, Great ball winner, Great tackler, Left foot, right foot, The goals he scored from his own half, A perfect midfield player, A real nice guy, It was a pleasure to watch you play for Liverpool. Xabi Alonso, we salute you. YNWA.

you never forget Family!! ❤

Xabi will always be a legend. Always and forever

Our hero, our mate. Thanks to Rafa for brought him.

Nothing but appreciation for Xabi.

What a talent, Benitez and Klopp both share that ability to find real gems of players that come to Anfield and flourish.

Once a Red always a Red. Enjoy your retirement, Xabi. Thank you for the beautiful football you gave us.

I love how he refers to liverpool as 'us' and 'we'

Love this man so much! Was gutted when he left, would've loved him back for a season or two before retirement. Happy retirement Xabi, YNWA ❤️

What a footballer he still is. One of my favorite players.

The man the myth the LEGEND We love you xabi We will never forget you

a pleasure watching you play live sir , YNWA, thank you .

this dude really stuck with us for 5 solid years, what a legend for so many teams!

Above all this, what's most amazing is what a decent and classy human being he is

One of Favourite players of all time. Really wished we brought him back when he left Real. Would of easily walked into our team.

BRING MY MAN BACK

legend!!

With all due respect of our current players. Some of the players we had under Rafa were among the best in the world in their positions. And some of them have moved on and achieved great things later in their careers. It's such a shame the club and Rafa's project was destroyed by those horrible people that came in 2007. Rafa made his own mistakes too of course, particularly with Xabi, but having such a great player play for the club was an honour and a pleasure to watch.

When he left it was such a huge blow for us, one of our biggest mistakes as a club Absolute legend ❤️

I’ll never forget seeing him play v Newcastle and Chelsea, dominating performances, never hit a bad pass , he must be the greatest passer In LFC history, always forward passes too, hopefully he will be our next Manager after Kloppo

You’re a Liverpool legend Xabi, one of the best midfielders we’ve ever had. I love the fact that US is the way that he refers to our fans. YNWA

Benitez made and destroyed Liverpool by signing and selling Alonso. He was incredible. And Barry? Seriously? We still haven't recovered from that...

still sad how poor rafa handle the barry-aquilani-xabi situation. Good luck on your retirement xabi! #graciasxabi

Time to add another chapter in the story book hopefully.

Who is here to see our next manager after our beloved Klopp?

One of the talented and good-looking footballers of all time.. He looks like a hero, bond-esque..

I cannot take my eyes off of him….🔥❤️😎

LEGEND

Thank You Xabi! Benitez made a mistake by selling you mate! You'll forever be one of the greats to wear a LFC jersey! #ynwa

A class, class act. In his prime he was beautiful to watch.

Gareth fucking Barry :(

legend. probably my favorite non-liverpool player playing right now

A Legend who won everything wherever he went and still wants relate himself to us. Gentleman! LFCFamily :)

30m sounds like an absolute steal for Real Madrid with today's market. If he was at his peak again right now he'd absolutely smash shitty pogbas price tag, xabi is 10 times the player he will ever be

One of the best ever in his position, respect! Will miss u xabi!

Thank you Xabi for everything! Hope to see you at the Kop sometime! YNWA.

wow he sound like a fan when decribes anfield nights... 😥 I still miss him

our 2024-2025 season manager

He will always be apart of the Liverpool family❤❤❤

Thank you for those incredible memories together with our fellow captain SG8. Best midfielders in my heart

absolute legend

Worst mistake to let him go

We won the Ucl and Fa Cup with this squad but Im surprised we couldnt win the Epl - We should have won in 2009, 2014 and 2019 too

Pass Master!

Koop idol. Awesome guy. Should never left.

Good memories for Senor Alonso.

2009 was a year of bloody heartbreak! Losing out to the mancs was hideous (but not before we'd stuck it to them 4-1 in their own back yard on March 14th!!!) Then losing Xabi Alonso in July, one of our best midfielders ever and a club legend, was purgatory...!!!

An absolute legend

what a legend❤ Always will be a fan🔥🔥☝

What a beautiful man

one of the most technically gifted best passers of a football I had the pleasure of seeing of all the players to leave Liverpool in the last twenty years he is the one we have never been able to replace legend

Miss him, hope to see you at Anfield again Xabi

Welcome to Liverpool as a manager

Xabi Alonso great midfielder I have full respect

Should have never been allowed to leave. Was possibly the most underrated player we've ever had. Only when he left did we all know just how good he was

thank you for the memories xabi

He was quality. Sheer class. Still loved on Merseyside 👍🏼 We should never of let him leave.

Tbh Alonso was by far liverpool's best CDM but i dont why but we keep selling our success such as suarez.

true legend...thank you for the memories

This legend brought me to Liverpool

unbelievable handsome

Best of luck for the future YNWA

What a player.

this was on bt sport premier league world. mad respect to the man

Love it! Great tribute!

Garcia and Alonso were my favorite spanish footballers in Liverpool

Legend stuff!! This is one of the greatest ever!!

He is legend!

Alonso will always be appreciated and remembered

A genius on the field. And also this guy is more handsome than most of the Bollywood's actors. 😃

Alonso and Gerrard behind Firmino, Coutinho, Mane and Lallana :)

thank you legend we still love you X.A14

I love how xabi is still a Liverpool fan

one of the true goats of our time.....

Now your time to lead LFC, come to anfield!!

Legend.

All the best with your future endeavours Xabi Alonso! Good luck with your retirement at the end of the season.

Xabi

Mascherano Gerrard and Alonso one of the greatest midfield trio of their era....

Walk on Xabi Walk on with hope in you heart You'll never walk alone

Alonso's biggest contribution to an already good squad was the settled 'shape' his inclusion brought, this was particularly evident during the season we came oh-so close. Now I can't name another Liverpool player, historically or currently who complimented those around him, so much so that individuals gel and partnerships are bonded. The squad aren't daft, they can feel the difference too - a self-belief and they were consistently superb week in-week out. Collectively the team with Alonso in WAS the difference. Everyone played 'better' when he played and Liverpool weren't the same if he didn't. He's a Liverpool Legend and he's been one hell of a Red.

he is a legend in our eyes, gutted her retiring

I love you Xabi

its hurt everytime i remember how close we are to the title with just 4 points behind with the kind of alonso torres mascherano kuyt hyppia gerrard. its also still breaks me a little to heard the fact that liverpool never win a premier league title

Love u so much G8 & A14

What a player Alonso was!! he will always be greatly respected by Liverpool fans (and he also played a part in demolishing the Gooners with Bayern last week ha ha!)

Time to come back home Xabi

Was a killing news when i came to know he was leaving Liverpool... Xabi Alonso, was loved by us just like we loved StevieG...

legend.

legend!!!

LEGEND 👏👍😍

Alonso - my hero, my mate
