From his Real Sociedad days to his journey through Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, Xabi Alonso has had a storied career. And how better to see that journey than through the most popular football game?

In case anyone needed to remember what Alonso with blonde hair looked like, there’s always FIFA 02 and FIFA 03 to refresh your memory.

And while you’re at it, check his overall rating – apart from his debut season and a frankly shocking rating of 69 in FIFA 04, he was always rated above 80, although his pace unsurprisingly saw a drop in his later years.

How do you think Alonso would be rated if he were back in FIFA 19?
