Alonso: I Was Right To Leave Madrid

The decision to leave Real Madrid for Bayern Munich last season, is one Xabi Alonso says he doesn’t regret at all.

Alonso moved to Bayern Munich after spending five years at Real Madrid and won the Bundesliga title with Pep Guardiola last season.

The former Liverpool man admits it was the right time to try out a new challenge and doesn’t seem himself quitting the game in the nearest future.

“I think so,” he told Bayern’s official website when asked if he felt he had made the right decision. “I’ve really enjoyed being at the club so far. It’s an excellent experience for me and I still hope to have more success this season than last.

“I feel as good as I have done before and I enjoy every minute on the pitch. If that wasn’t the case, it would be the moment to stop.”

“It would be the third team I’ve won the trophy with, something that only Clarence Seedorf has managed to do to date.

“It would be something very special [to face Madrid], something exciting. I wore the white jersey for five years and I still have a close relationship with the club, and with the people there, just as I do with Liverpool.”
