A mixture of emotions, we have been on the right track during our time together. I still have two very emotional games left,” said Xabi Alonso, who is leaving Bayer Leverkusen through the front door after leaving behind some unforgettable moments.

I want to enjoy it until the very last moment,’ he added.
