Xabi Alonso won the Champions League with Liverpool and Real Madrid and says he aims to win it with Bayern Munich, which lost in the semifinals the last two seasons.
“To win theChampions League with Bayern is a dream for me, a great aim that I hope I can achieve,” he toldMarca. “It would be the icing on the cake. For Bayern, it’s very important to win it because we know how prestigious this competition is. We have a great team, fantastic fans and we are a bigclub. Our duty is to be in a position to win it, although winning it depends on the day. At Real, we lost three straight semifinals under [Jose] Mourinho, and then we won the 10th European Cup. Whenyou persevere, you get it. I hope this is our year.”
