Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso back at Anfield – it seems too perfect, doesn't it?
Alonso has been approached to succeed Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield dugout, according to reports, following flying form in the Bundesliga with the unfancied Bayer Leverkusen. Die Werkself find themselves in an unlikely title tussle with another of Alonso's former sides, Bayern Munich, who have won the previous 11 Meisterschale shields on the trot – while Leverkusen, in comparison, have never won the competition, remaining the only ever Champions League finalist to have never reigned supreme in their league.
