| Xabi Alonso |
Alonso will hang up his boots at the end of the season after a decorated career which has seen him make 690 club appearances and lift 10 major European trophies during spells at Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern.
The Spaniard spent five years alongside Gerrard in Liverpool’s midfield, during which time the pair won the FA Cup, UEFA Super League and most famously, the 2004-05 Champions League.
Gerrard - who retired himself in November - took to social media to congratulate Alonso on his career after the Bayern man’s announcement.
