Xabi Alonso was the metronome of Liverpool's midfield during one of the club's most romantic eras, scoring the decisive penalty in the 2005 Champions League final comeback against AC Milan in Istanbul. He added the FA Cup a year later and went on to win the World Cup and two European Championships with Spain, establishing himself as one of the finest passers of his generation.
