Liverpool Best Ever XI To Have Played With Steven Gerrard

CM) Xabi Alonso

Alonso quickly became a vital part of the Liverpool set-up after joining in 2004, a fact that was even more evident when he left for Real Madrid in 2009 and a gaping hole was left in the Merseyside midfield.

Making 210 appearances for the club, Alonso was another of Liverpool’s Champions League winners in 2005, scoring the equalising goal against AC Milan to send it to penalties.
