While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045 played his 150th match for the Spanish champions.
Los Blancos’ midfielder, Xabi Alonso, has won 114 of his 150 matches for his club, marking a 76% win percentage.
Amongst this record of his, he has won all of the national cups his team has been eligible for, meaning the league, the Copa Del Rey, and a Spanish Super Cup.
Out of the 150 games which he has played, 107 of them were in the league, 28 in the Champions League, 11 in the Copa Del Rey, and 4 in the Spanish Super Cup.
Xabi Alonso made his winning debut with Los Blancos on the 30th of August 2009, against Deportivo. Ever since that match, the Spaniard has helped the Whites win all three of Spain’s major tournaments.
Alonso started his football career at Real Sociedad, becoming the team captain and leading Sociedad to a second-place finish in the 2002-2003 La Liga season.
His success stirred some attention amongst the EPL and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 ended up paying 10.5 million pounds for the Spanish midfielder.
In his first season at the club, Alonso won the UEFA Champions League and scored the equalising goal in the final, making him one of Liverpool’s most valuable players at that time. In his very next season he won the FA Cup and the FA Community Shield.
In 2009, he moved to Real Madrid who paid 30 million pounds for the Spaniard. Former team-mate and captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196, stated that Alonso’s departure played a major role in Liverpool’s poor performance at the start of the 2009 campaign.
In Real Madrid, Alonso started off as a holding midfielder, scoring his first goal for the club on 21st February 2010.
During http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 Pellegrini’s tenure as manager at Real Madrid, unless he was injured, Alonso was seen starting every match.
He also helped his club reach a record of 96 points in the league, finishing only three points behind rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, making it the third time in his career when he has helped his club reach a club record of league points.
Since 2009, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 has been a regular starter in Real’s squad, and it seems like La Barba Roja are not ready to give up yet.
Playing 150 matches for his club, the Spanish midfielder seems ready go on for 150 more.
