It's accurate to say that Xabi Alonso is in a position that is unique across the entire history of organised professional football.
Big statement, but demonstrably true.
Never before has a coach who has still to complete his first full senior season been the No. 1 target for three of the biggest clubs in the world (with 26 European Cups/Champions Leagues between them) in three different countries. Those clubs are Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Real Madrid.
His other love, Real Sociedad, had him and let him leave -- they'll have to wait a long time now.
