Xabi Alonso left Liverpool over alleged disagreements with manager Rafa Benitez

One of the heroes and goal scorers of the final in 2005, he has probably been the most successful following his career at Anfield. After 2005, Alonso was a pivotal part of the Liverpool squad that won the FA Cup in 2006.

He played a pivotal role in Madrid's journey to winning their 10th Champions League Trophy in 2013-14. He started every game for the la Liga side that season.

In 2014, Alonso completed a deal to move to German side Bayern Munich. For his country, Xabi Alonso proved indispensable to his side winning Euro 2008 and 2012. He retired from international football in August 2014.
