At 34 years of age, Xabi Alonso's best days are behind him.

But the former Liverpool midfielder still remains an extraordinary footballer, especially given that his game was always based on his brain and passing rather than pace.

The World Cup winning ex-Spain midfielder has also had a penchant for scoring long-range goals and continued that tradition with this stunning control and swing of the boot for Bayern Munich against Darmstadt tonight in the German Cup.

As the Germans say, Wunderbar!
