Xabi Alonso: Return to the Anfield Road - a duel between the giants!

Anfield Road, Liverpool, England - An exciting football event is imminent when Bayer Leverkusen will compete at Liverpool FC on Tuesday evening. The Anfield Road becomes the setting for a gripping Champions League duel, in which all eyes are directed to the former Liverpool star Xabi Alonso. As a trainer of the Werkself, he returns to the place, where he celebrated great success between 2004 and 2009, including the triumphal profit of the Champions League in 2005.

The voltage is already tangible! Alonso, who was acted with the Reds during the summer break as a potential successor to Jürgen Klopp, decided to stay with Bayer Leverkusen. His return not only arouses memories, but also the curiosity about the course of the game. Liverpool has won all three previous Champions League games this season and is considered one of the best teams in Europe. But Leverkusen also remains unbeaten and has established himself as a serious challenger.

While he wants to concentrate on the game, the nostalgic return to the Anfield Road remains a special event for him.

Although Alonso emphasizes that he has no time to explore the city, the entire football world will look at this clash on Tuesday evening. The question remains: Can Leverkusen stop the impressive run of the Reds and catapult Alonso back into the hearts of the Liverpool fans with a win? The answer will reveal itself in the live ticker of the game.
