‘A complete team’: Xabi Alonso heaps praise on Liverpool after heavy defeat
Leverkusen’s Alonso says Arne Slot ‘doing great work’Liverpool manager delighted by ‘incredible evening’
Xabi Alonso described Liverpool as “a complete team” after he endured a painful return to Anfield with Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
The former Liverpool midfielder suffered the joint-heaviest defeat of his Leverkusen reign as Luis Díaz struck a hat-trick for Arne Slot’s side, who now sit top of both the Champions League and Premier League tables. All of Liverpool’s goals came in a devastating second half display that extended Slot’s outstanding start to 14 wins in 16 matches.
