Xabi Alonso misses tonight’s match

Filed under: Uefa Champions League by: Football Highlights

Xabi Alonso had a major conflict with Rafa Benitez.The Liverpool coach didn’t want to leave the player home next to his wife who is expecting their first baby,and so Xabi Alonso refused to make the trip to Milano,where Liverpool meets Inter in the Uefa Champions League.He preffered to stay beside his wife,Nagore Aramburu,although Benitez was clear:”Soccer should come first!”.

Xabi would have wanted to come to Italy this morning , but the coach refused.The english media affirms that Alonso can very well leave Liverpool this summer after the scandal.In 2005,while Benitez was at the Clubs World Cup,his father died but he decided not to go at the funeral and to stay in Japan,where Liverpool lost the final against Sao Paulo 1-0.
