Xabi Alonso Quotes

I had five great years at Liverpool and I would rather just keep that memory as it is.

As long as we have the possibility then we still have to fight for it.

I am still a Liverpool fan and will be forever, absolutely

I left Real Madrid for the same reason Di Maria did. We work hard but only others get the praise.

We will have to go to win. There's no other option. We have one more match.

I've still got Paul Scholes' shirt at home which I swapped with him once. When I was at Liverpool he was one of the players I liked most. Maybe he's not valued as much as he should be in England because of the style of football there and because he keeps a low profile. Perhaps he would have been more valued in Spain, where midfielders like him form part of the 'ideal.' Fans in Spain rate him very highly and I admire him a huge amount.

I tried to do everything just as I would before any other match, but it was impossible.
