Xabi Alonso’s football brain is unbelievable, we need more personalities like him that are passionate about football in today’s game.

Victim of one of the most violent challenges in football history (WC final vs Nigel de Jong), starting midfielder in the greatest national team ever, instrumental in winning Real Madrid the Champions League in 2014, and above all one of the coolest, classiest men in football. What a legend Xabi is

[@gomey70]

Scored the equalizing 3rd goal in the greatest CL final of all time in 2005.

​@gomey70 yup man he helped create a miracle

As a utd fan, he's one of the Liverpool players I've liked the most. Nothing but respect!

[@trevbailie1254]

He will always make it into my Liverpool and Spain XIs. A joy to watch. Quality.

[@matthewjamison]

Good luck Xabi YNWA

[@2melinc]

It's great for Xabi Alonso to acknowledge Jurgen Klinsmann's impact on German football!

[@dechanpalmobodhms4161]

A living legend! ❤️ Appreciate you Xabi.

[@zingisamahlasela]

Future Liverpool manager! YNWA

[@maqhawemashego5043]

If Declan Rice is worth £150million , how much would Alonso be in today's English market maybe £300 million.

[@aerodronics_showcase]

Easy 300million. The ball was running for him

[@abdulhaleem1]

A Liverpool Legend.

[@squarewindow]

Legend. Would love to see him and Stevie up against each other in a CL final one day.

[@speedking7224]

He sounds like Steven Gerrard with a Spanish accent

[@allanchiumya87]

Xabi Alonso is amongst the best long range passing midfielders along with Xavi(of Barca), Gerrard, Scholes, Makelele, .......

Reconsider managing Gladbach as a Gladbach supporter you’d be a perfect beginning for you an average Bundesliga team that has fallen off this last season if you could restore them to glory you can move on to bigger and better things You were almost appointed at the end of last season where I fell through please reconsider

[@PrinterjamsMusic]

He speaks better English than Kane

[@Blackcat-yx4ii]

Everyone speaks better than kane

[@yt.personal.identification]

He has played under nearly every great manager over the last 20 years. It would have been good to see him play under Klopp though

[@ArunPandey-zn1dk]

Is it Alexis's voice?

[@j0rge1000]

I would definitely give him an opportunity at Real Madrid.

[@4857i]

Man utd bang on about scholes. Alonso was 10 levels above

[@mohebhashemyan2492]

colour correction?

[@s17tahun40]

I thought Nunez is ESPN, she interviewing for Sky now?

[@007Fusiion]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sky part owned Espn. I’ve seen other presenters , too many, that have popped up on sky in recent times.

Before anyone watches, it was Arteta and his pursuit of the 4th place trophy

[@neilpa]

Listen, Man United might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. RANGNICK'S (Ole 3.0) at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. MAN UNITED ARE BACK!!!
