For Liverpool fans of a certain vintage, the name Bayer Leverkusen will always induce a wince and a longing for what might have been.
It’s nearly 22 years now since Gerard Houllier’s UEFA Cup holders nudged themselves into the last eight of the European Cup before a 4-2 defeat to the German side saw them eliminated 5-3 on aggregate.
Michael Ballack’s power and class, a misguided Houllier assertion that his team were “10 games from greatness”, and a harrowing quarter-final exit from the Champions League are all part of the Leverkusen iconography in the mind’s eye of the Anfield faithful.
In the modern era, that is changing. Now, Reds fans from all over the world are tuning in to see how Xabi Alonso is faring in charge of a team who he has guided from second bottom to top spot in the Bundesliga in less than 18 months. The fact his charges are also in possession of a five-point advantage over perennial winners Bayern Munich makes it even more impressive.

‘Blue card’ sin bin rule could leave Liverpool with tricky decision – and Jurgen Klopp isn’t happy
And with Jurgen Klopp having announced his bombshell decision to step away from Anfield after nine largely decorated years at the helm, interest in Alonso’s fortunes from a Liverpool perspective has ramped up ten-fold in recent weeks.
So the 2005 Champions League winner picked the perfect night to showcase his coaching talents to the wider forum of European football last week when his Leverkusen side dismantled the Bundesliga behemoth that is Bayern 3-0 to take firm control in the title race.
It wasn’t so much an evening where Alonso announced himself to the wider world as a manager but the night where he pulled up a megaphone and did so in a manner that would have made the Wolf of Wall Street himself, Jordan Belfort, blush. “I’m not f****** leaving!” Top spot, that is.
“If this was another manager who was having this season at Leverkusen, I am sure he would come into Liverpool’s thoughts,” says Jamie Carragher. “Listen, you could see straight away [at Liverpool] he was a real football lover and he wasn’t just a great player. He was always interested in tactics and he had a great idea about football at a young age and I think that has helped him really.”
It was the sort of swaggering, uncompromising performance against the undisputed kings of the Bundesliga that evoked memories of 2011 when Bayern were swept aside in similarly convincing fashion by the last team to have beaten them to a top-flight title in Borussia Dortmund.
A 3-1 defeat to Dortmund, who were managed by a certain Jurgen Klopp in February 2011, had them virtually queuing up at the Allianz to crown their visitors as the next champions of Germany as BVB secured their first win away to Bayern in 19 years.
“Most of my boys were still being breast-fed then,” Klopp is said to have joked after that game as Bayern were reported in local media to have resembled “driftwood in a sea of yellow and black”. It was Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke’s insistence that he “couldn’t give a s*** about the championship today,” because he was “too happy with the way we played” that provided the most unique observation on the day however.
Thirteen years later, it was perhaps worth dusting off that succinct, no-nonsense summary to accurately describe how Alonso’s side had also overwhelmed their exalted visitors. As a result, Die Werskelf remain unbeaten this season with just four draws among their 21 league games.
Their 22 victories from 35 games across 2023 was a new club record and that form has yet to tail off at the mid-February point. There’s a reason their tongue-in-cheek nickname has gone from Neverkusen to Neverlosen and something is most certainly being built at the BayArena. This is no fluke.

“If you look at the summer recruitment and how that has suited Alonso, that’s a good example [of how he works with his sporting director],” says Seb Stafford-Bloor, European football writer for The Athletic. “Xhaka, Hofmann, and Grimaldo arrived, because the club wanted a different type of dressing room chemistry. All of those players were agreed upon by Alonso and Simon Rolfes (sporting director) and the way they’ve been used – and how important they’ve been throughout the season – demonstrates how aligned they each are with one another.”
The fearsome defensive partnership of Timothy Tapsoba and Jonathan Tah has helped Bayer record a league low of just 14 goals conceded, while players who had previously been cast aside elsewhere around Europe, such as Granit Xhaka (Arsenal), Jeremie Frimpong (Celtic) and Nathan Tella (Southampton), have shown those judgements to have been premature under the tutelage of Alonso.
Ten-goal Victor Boniface has been a real find from Belgian outfit Union Saint-Gilloise, while Piero Hincapie, the left-footed Ecuador defender, has reportedly been attracting attention of scouts from Anfield due to his own form.
Alex Grimaldo, who registered his eighth goal of the season in the win over Bayern, has been a revelation as an adventurous, free-spirited left-wing-back, while Florian Wirtz is the fleet-footed creative fulcrum. His return after rupturing a cruciate ligament cannot be overstated in all of this.
Despite the number of players enjoying superlative campaigns, however, there is a feeling that much of it has been masterminded by the tactical invention of Alonso, whose astute and measured observations during his time as a head coach have remained true to the type of classy, ball-playing style that helped make his name as a player.
As a player, Alonso has sat at the heel of many greats. At Real Madrid, it was Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti; at Bayern Munich, it was Pep Guardiola; and at Liverpool, Rafa Benitez. As one of more cerebral midfielders in an era that saw the relentless pressing of German influence replace the elegant possession-based approach more favoured across Spain, Alonso has watched and learned as the game has changed during a period that saw his own playing days merge into his coaching years. As a result, it feels as though his ideals have been taken from each lane to all meet at the same intersection.
Carragher tells the ECHO: “I think that can only help any manager with their different experiences in different countries and different styles of football. You think of some of the managers he’d had, in the modern generation, he’s had all the best ones and also his father was a player or a manager, too, so he’s just had football in his life constantly, and the clubs he’s played for, the calibre of manager and also the calibre of player was as well.
“He was a thinking-man’s player; he didn’t rely on his physicality, it was more his brain. So even before he’s shown himself as a great manager, he is someone who I think people might’ve thought he could be a top manager.”
Alonso’s first move in charge back in October 2022 was to switch to a 3-4-3 formation that sought to allow the opposition time on the ball against a more compact system that closed the spaces behind their midfield. It led to fewer concessions before work went into developing the team as a more productive outfit in the final third, using the pace of players like Moussa Diaby, now of Aston Villa, and Mitchell Bakker.
It is the speed and execution in those transitions that will be most recognisable to Liverpool supporters, with the Reds regarded as one of the most devastating around when those spaces open up. Playmaker Wirtz’s comeback was also key to the upturn.
Across 96 teams in Europe’s top-five leagues this term, Leverkusen rank first for passes-per-game (683), short passes (646) and their percentage of short passes (95%), while they are in second for 10-pass sequences (22.6). It all points towards a coach who anoints possession as king in the same manner as Guardiola at Manchester City.
Carragher says: “When you think of his background and where he comes from, the teams he played for, it shouldn’t surprise that there’s a Pep Guardiola influence. He had the influence at Bayern for a couple of seasons and Pep is a massive influence on everyone in football, especially Spanish players I would imagine.
“You think of when Spain had their success in the World Cup (2010) and the Euros (2008 and 2012) that was when Barcelona were at their peak as well (under Guardiola). They were dominant so that football was almost copied by everyone, so it shouldn’t surprise that he is similar to Pep.”
“To an extent [they are similar] and Alonso has spoken before about Guardiola’s influence,” says Bundesliga expert Stafford-Bloor. “But I do think there are differences. Alonso’s use of Jeremie Frimpong, for instance, is more aggressive. How he creates space for his internal players – like Wirtz – also contrasts with what might be expected from a Guardiola team.
“Leverkusen are quite patient with the ball. They’re good at pressing, but not particularly intense. So, there are plenty of comparisons, but Alonso’s style seems a bit looser – his players express themselves a touch more and don’t seem quite as structured in the way they build moves.”
What is inescapable, though, are Alonso’s links to Anfield that were forged in the mid-to-late 2000s. A Champions League and FA Cup winner in 2005 and 2006, he was also a star of a team that finished runners-up in the 2007 European Cup to AC Milan before running Manchester United to within a whisker of the Premier League title two years later.
“Liverpool fans aren’t daft and they fell in love with him straight away as a player and they could see what he was about,” Carragher adds. “When he came he moved into the centre and into the Albert Dock and he wanted to immerse himself into the city, so he is a good guy, down to earth who doesn’t get too carried away.”
A fan-favourite from day one, Liverpool’s fans were instantly in the thrall of Alonso after his 2004 arrival from Real Sociedad as he provided the velvet glove to the steel fist of Steven Gerrard in the centre of Benitez’s midfield. That, inevitably, will provide him with the groundswell of support any incoming manager will need, whoever it is who replaces Klopp; a manager who walks away as a legendary figure, whatever happens between now and the end of the campaign.
“I think succeeding Klopp is practically impossible,” says Stafford-Bloor. “Does Alonso have the same emotionally reachable qualities? Is he going to mimic Klopp’s interactions with the crowd at Anfield? No.
“He doesn’t seem like that kind of persona at all. He’s a bit more stoic, but he’s still impressive and possesses an obvious gravitas. He’s an excellent communicator, speaks German and English to a really high level, and clearly commands respect with players because of what he’s achieved in the game.”
The man himself, speaking back in 2018, said: “Yes for sure, I have dreamt of [managing Liverpool]. But first I have to prove myself and prepare. First I have to prove myself and to prepare but you know if I decide somewhere along the way to take my chances as a manager, my link, my commitment, my passion with Liverpool is there and, you know, why not? We will see if we can cross paths in our ways.”
As the outstanding candidate to replace Klopp later this year as things stand, those paths might yet cross sooner rather than later. And until then, you can be sure Liverpool will be watching over at Leverkusen, gradually forgetting about that game in 2002.

Xabi Alonso leads Liverpool’s seven-manager shortlist in search for Jurgen Klopp replacement
Liverpool’s search for successor to Jurgen Klopp continues
Xabi Alonso leading contender but Reds want to hire new sporting director before a manager
Roberto De Zerbi, Ange Postecoglou and Julian Nagelsmann also on Liverpool’s shortlist

Liverpool have drawn up a shortlist of seven managers in their search for a successor to manager Jurgen Klopp, though are only just beginning the formal hiring process, 90min understands.
Klopp announced towards the end of January that he would be leaving Liverpool this summer, much to the shock of the footballing world.
Liverpool also have a sporting director vacancy to fill, and 90min understands the club would prefer to find a candidate here before turning their full attention to the manager situation with that hire on board. Nevertheless, the club have had two months to do their due diligence on Klopp’s replacement after he informed them of his decision privately in November.
Sources have confirmed to 90min that Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso is the early favourite and frontrunner for the manager’s job, though he is not guaranteed to get the gig due to the ongoing sporting director search.
Alonso would be interested in a return to Liverpool as manager, but he is currently focused on trying to deliver Leverkusen their first ever Bundesliga title – they moved five points clear at the top of the table with a 3-0 win against Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Liverpool are not the only former club of Alonso’s that are admirers of his work, with Real Madrid aware Carlo Ancelotti will not be around forever despite recently signing a new contract, while Thomas Tuchel’s future at Bayern has been called into question even if he is safe for now.
Alonso could also continue to build at Leverkusen, though 90min understands he is aware his success so far is in part down to the quality of players at his disposal, and the club are expected to sell at least two of their stars in the summer transfer window. Joining Liverpool this year instead of waiting another season for an offer from Madrid or Bayern could therefore suit the Spaniard.
Brighton & Hove Albion’s Roberto De Zerbi and Germany national team coach Julian Nagelsmann are also serious contenders, as is Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou, who was a boyhood Liverpool fan. However, Spurs are completely relaxed about the Greek-Australian’s situation and believe he will stay – Postecoglou may even decline an interview if approached.
Sporting CP’s Ruben Amorim is admired by those upstairs at Anfield, but he is thought to be part of a wider search and not a leading contender at this stage due to his lack of experience in a top-five league. Aston Villa’s Unai Emery and Benfica’s Roger Schmidt have both been discussed internally at Liverpool.
Club legend Steven Gerrard had appeared to be making headway as a potential Klopp successor earlier in his managerial career after ending Rangers’ nine-year wait for a Scottish title in 2021 and making a decent start to life at Aston Villa upon his move to the West Midlands, but his stock has fallen and he is now at Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq. As such, he is not a contender to replace Klopp, but Liverpool would be in mind to offer him an interview out of respect if he were to ask for one.

Mohamed Salah looks set to be involved in Liverpool’s squad for Saturday’s Premier League trip to Brentford after making a return to team training on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old forward has been out of action since pulling up with a hamstring injury in Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana on January 18. He hasn’t featured for Liverpool since the 4-2 thrashing of Newcastle United at Anfield on New Year’s Day.
Now, though, after returning to team training on Tuesday, he could make his first Reds appearance in six weeks at the G-Tech Community Stadium on Saturday.

Mohamed Salah
If all goes well between now and Saturday, Salah should be part of Liverpool’s travelling contingent that takes to West London over the weekend. Salah took part in team training at Kirkby on Tuesday and was involved in rondos at the AXA Training Centre.
Should he return, it would be a timely boost for the Reds, who face Chelsea at Wembley in the 2024 League Cup just eight days later.
Expected return date: Brentford (A), February 17
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Alexander-Arnold is set for a race against the clock to be fit for the League Cup final later this month after Jurgen Klopp confirmed the defender had suffered a recurrence of the knee injury he sustained against Arsenal last month.
On Monday, the ECHO reported that Alexander-Arnold was still awaiting the result of a scan in the aftermath of being withdrawn at half-time against Burnley on Saturday.
The No.66 was, as expected, not involved in team training at the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday afternoon.
Expected return date: Unknown
Dominik Szoboszlai
The Hungarian midfielder has missed Liverpool’s last two matches with an aggravation of the hamstring injury that sidelined him after the Reds’ 4-2 win over Newcastle on New Year’s Day. Now, the number 8 is in a race against time to be fit for the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea on February 25.
Klopp said: “Dom is running outside at the moment, in the winter rain, and is not ready for tomorrow, of course not. Then we have to see. It’s like it always is with these tendon things; pretty quickly the player is pain-free, and then it’s all about… it’s muscle, [and] it’s pretty much the same that he had before.

“That’s obviously really not good that he got that again. He didn’t feel a great issue, but when you see then the pictures, you just have to take him out and now we are fighting for days, if you want. Is it Brentford, is it the [Carabao Cup] final or is it after the final? I don’t know in the moment.”
Expected return date: Unknown
Thiago Alcantara
Midfielder Thiago had only just returned to first-team action after a lengthy spell out, but alas, he has already been reunited with his close friends in Liverpool’s medical team after picking up a new muscle problem against Arsenal.
Speaking in his press conference on Friday, Klopp said: “Thiago, obviously, is not cool. Everything looked absolutely fantastic in training. It’s a muscle issue; we don’t know the extent yet. We have to wait there a little bit, but it’s not cool, of course. It was really not good news for him, for us, for everybody. On top of losing the game already and having that is not good.
“Yes, [I expect him to play again this season], but we didn’t really think about that, in the moment we just treat the injury and get a full assessment done and knowing exactly where it came from. It’s just the normal procedure and it would not be a big story if he wouldn’t have been out for that long a time. That’s how it is. It’s not a big, big injury, definitely not, but it’s obviously something nobody needed.”
Expected return date: Unknown.
Stefan Bajcetic
Stefan Bajcetic has endured a frustrating period in his fledgling Anfield career after a number of injury problems. He enjoyed a strong debut campaign last season but saw it end prematurely after suffering a stress response in his adductor in March.
Bajcetic returned in September with outings in the Carabao Cup and Europa League, but his involvement against LASK Linz proved to be his last after suffering a calf issue. It remains unclear when he will return to full training.
Expected return date: Unknown
Joel Matip
Joel Matip is recovering from surgery after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The 32-year-old, who is in the final months of his contract at Liverpool, is likely to miss the rest of the season. The centre-back was left stricken in the 70th minute of the dramatic Premier League 4-3 win over Fulham in December after an off-the-ball inciden
Expected return date: Unknown
Ben Doak
Ben Doak is out long-term with a serious knee injury sustained playing for the under-21s. Assistant manager Pep Lijnders said of Doak’s condition: “That’s not a good one. He tore his lateral meniscus, which needs surgery.
“That one will take (a) longer time. He is young, he is a fit guy, he is a positive guy so for sure he will come back stronger, and we need him to come back with the same fire he has with the ball, how he was. We will wait for him.”
Expected return date: Unknown
