This guy was something else. He played out his last days in my club, and I still miss Using him in FC Bayern in FIFA 15 & 16. He made it easy to create dangerous attacking situations with people like Robben and Ribery running in behind. It's not just the weight of his passing (which btw was exceptional), putting the ball in a dangerous area is one thing. Sending it through with inch perfect curve, spin and velocity to be very conveniently received by the attacker is a whole other. Alonso did that with finesse, every single time! Let's not forget he was also a nightmare for any goalkeeper off his line.

He was just one of those passers. When he got the ball and had the pitch in front of him it was the clear signal for any striker to get on a bike and recieve the ball. He would spot people making the run in a whole different stadiums and games and make the pass fly over cities and still be perfectly controlable right onto the recievers feet. Magic

Done his part for his boyhood club as well. What a career

Xabi era el n centrocampista total. Tebia calidad, buen disparo, un pase esquisito tanto en largo (donde ha sido de lo mejor de la historia), como en corto. Gran capacidad defensiva, de sacrificio y de colocación. Hacia mejor a sus compañeros y ademas hacia una cosa nuy difícil en el fútbol y es saber jugar sin el balón. En el fútbol de hoyz donde solo prima el físico y hay oocos jugadores de calidad en el nedio, Xabi ahira mismo seria el mejor jugador del momento. Suerte tuvimos los madridistas de disfrutarle, al igual que los realistas, seguidires de pool, Bayern y de la selección española. Con toda seguridad será uno de los mejores entrenadores de los próximos 20 años
