Today is Xabi Alonso’s 31st birthday. The midfielder signed for Real Madrid in the 2009-10 season, becoming a key player from the very start. He was trusted with play making and with bringing solidity to the midfield. With Madrid he has won one League, a Cup and a Spanish Supercup.

Xabi Alonso was born on 25 November 1981 in Tolosa (Guipúzcoa) and made his First Division debut with Real Sociedad at the age of 19.
