Xabi Alonso ages like wine.

The unquestionably cool Spanish midfielder bagged his first goal of the Bundesliga season in the first gameweek of the new Bundesliga season and it was typical of the former Liverpool and Real Madrid man.

After controlling a clearance with an immaculate first touch that set him up perfectly, he waited for the ball to drop and struck it as clean as he could have, sending the ball flying into the top corner.

Magic.

He only scores beautiful goals, and this one was the perfect way to get Carlo Ancelotti's reign underway after just eight minutes. Robert Lewandowski would then add a second just four minutes later to suggest that Bayern are rightly the firm favourites to defend their title in Germany despite losing Pep Guardiola.
