What Gerard said about Alonso before Saturday's match is really emotional (Video)

The Spanish midfielder came to Liveprool in 2004, and played alongside Gerard and Mascheranos creating a fantastic midfield threes considered the best at Premier League at the time, writes Periscopi.

But Alonso's adventure in énfield came to an end when Rafa Benitez did not want him on the team and searched for Gareth Barry in 2009.

Alonso's most serious departure was experienced by Steven Gerard, who admitted that his heart was broken when the Spaniard fled to Real Madrid.

And as I said before, I couldn't ask for a partner in a better medium than Alonso, and when he left he broke his heart,” said the former captain of Liverpool.

This pair will be back in action this Saturday, where they will play in the Liverpool legend match with Bayern Munichu legends.

Jerard is looking forward to this meeting to enjoy a football match once more alongside Xabi Alonsot.

“Xabi is a world-class player. I missed Xabi so much, I loved playing along with him.

I saw him before a very long time ago and he was in good shape. I can't wait to play with him again at England. /Periscope/
