Xabi Alonso-Istanbul & leaving Liverpool
Speaking of the Barry saga and his relationship with Benitez, Alonso said:
“At the end of that season, speaking to Rafa, he told me the situation and that he wanted to sign other players and I could be one of the replacements,” he explained. “If an offer would have come, probably I would have been sold. That’s when I told myself that the situation had changed – from being a very important player to being one of those who can be sold to get funds to sign other players. I accepted it because I am a professional but you have to realise what your situation is. At the end nothing happened because there was no agreement and we started my last season in Liverpool, but knowing what had happened.
“I had to take it from their point of view. We knew what had happened and once we knew I was going to stay, if the manager was going to pick me then I was going to play as well as possible. There were no personal problems, it was a professional relationship.
“I didn’t feel I had a point to prove. I knew what I was capable of giving to the team and what I had given for the four years – and then the last one. In the last one the team was really good, we were winning so many games, beating the top teams home and away and that made a big difference. Because of the silly draws we got at home at the beginning of the season, that’s probably why we didn’t win the Premier League. We felt we had a very good team, we were very competitive and it was a disappointment not to win the league.
“I didn’t know what would happen but at the end of the season, knowing what had happened, I felt if another option was to come I needed to take another step in my career. It was very difficult to take that decision, but it was probably for the best for me because I was not comfortable with that situation and if I had stayed another season it would have been uncomfortable for me.
“I was really happy with the team and my teammates and felt that we could do great things. I was happy on that side but within a club you have to see the big picture and another season would have been too much for me.
“As soon as the season finished I talked to the manager. I knew that maybe Madrid were coming and I said if the terms were good then I wanted to leave.”
If the bad feeling surrounding the Barry saga and his relationship with Benitez was the lowlight of Alonso’s Liverpool career then the glory of lifting the European Cup in Istanbul must be the highlight. The Spanish playmaker spoke glowingly to liverpoolfc.tv about the triumph and it is through this that you can see just how high a regard Alonso holds the fans and the entire club.
Xabi’s cultured passing, reading of the game and composure had been just one of many reasons why Liverpool were able to reach the Champions League final in 2005 and it was his goal that completed that memorable comeback in which the Reds scored 3 times in six second-half minutes to cancel out AC Milan’s 3-0 lead.
It is a match that Liverpool’s fans still can’t believe happened and the memories will forever live in the minds of all those who watched it live or on TV and Alonso is no different, speaking of his Istanbul experience he said:
“To lift that trophy in the first season was a dream come true. We were lucky to live so many big nights on the way to Istanbul, like Olympiacos, Chelsea, Juventus – those were fantastic nights and it was the perfect start for many of us.
“It was a crazy night because we were so enthusiastic before the game but the first half was really tough and really difficult to take, but the team spirit was high and we kept believing, even when it was mission impossible. But we made it and in six minutes scored three goals against a top team like Milan with so much experience. It was a miracle. After scoring the third goal you had the feeling our name was written on the trophy.
“Look at the pictures and my face tells everything before taking that penalty. The responsibility, the tense look. It was more than nerves, it was about the responsibility. It was one of the biggest moments of my career. I missed it but got the reward and it was probably the quickest five metres I have ever run.
“It was unbelievable afterwards. After so many years, bringing Liverpool back to where they deserved to be – you could see the faces and the happiness of the people around Liverpool and wherever we went. Sharing those moments with them was fantastic and totally unforgettable.
“It is a final in the memory of all football supporters. They have it in their mind, it was the greatest comeback ever, so wherever I go they have that memory.”

Opppsss!!! #2-Maarten Stekelenburg
Haha, lepas Sergio Ramos kasi jatuh Piala Raja Sepanyol, kali nie giliran Maarten Stekelenburg pulak kasi jatuh piala Liga Belanda. Nasib baik piring jer, kalau besar piala FA Malaysia mau x pecah. Kasi jatuh piala dari atas bas selepas menang telah menjadi tradisi dan menjadi ikutan. Aku rasa lepas nie kalau x Nani mesti Anderson kasi jatuh Piala EPL.
