NOT TOO XABI

Twitter reacts as Xabi Alonso’s wonder-volley opens Carlo Ancelotti’s Bayern Munich reign in style against Werder Bremen

Spaniard netted just eight minutes into Bayern's opening Bundesliga clash with Werder Bremen as German champs went on to win 6-0

XABI ALONSO has nothing to prove in England, he has nothing to prove in Spain and he has nothing to prove in Germany - we all know he is a first-rate midfielder.

But in case you had forgotten for just a minute quite how brilliant the 34-year-old is - just watch his volley from Bayern Munich's opening Bundesliga game last night.

It was only eight minutes into Carlo Ancelotti's debut in the Bayern dugout - and if this set the scene for how Munich are about to go on under the popular Italian, their fans are in for a treat.

And not forgetting that the home side notched another five more goals for an emphatic 6-0 romp over Die Werderaner.

Alonso's goal came about after a sweet first touch from a headed ball out of defence.

He then rattled a shot on the half volley towards the goal as it nestled beautifully in the back of the net.

And boy did Twitter enjoy it.
