Bring Xabi home,” while another expressed, “It’s hard to get excited about anyone else as Liverpool manager when you’ve had the best one possible, but Xabi Alonso is giving it a good go, isn’t he.”

Following the Leverkusen-Bayern clash, Alonso shared insights into his team’s success, stating, “We controlled the right moment to press, when to wait, who could have the ball, who could not have the ball.” His adept tactical decisions have further fueled the call for his return to Liverpool.
Notably, Alonso’s post-match celebration, where he brought his backroom staff onto the pitch, resonated positively. Addressing his future last month, Alonso emphasized his current focus on Bayer Leverkusen: “I am in a great place which I enjoy…Speculation is normal, my focus is here on Bayer Leverkusen.” Despite the uncertainty, Liverpool fans remain hopeful for the potential appointment of the former Reds midfielder as their new manager.
