“Absolutely, absolutely. Whenever I’m not on work duty, I keep an eye on the Reds. I’m really excited,” Alonso told SI.
“It’s thrilling what’s happening in the city right now. What they are doing at the moment is so admirable, the players, the coaches.
“11 wins in a row is a massive achievement, and they are so close to winning the league for the first time in 24 years.
“So I’m really looking forward to it and happy for the ones I know like Stevie and Lucas, the ones I played with there.”
Alonso completed a £30m move to Real Madrid in 2009 after winning the Champions League and FA Cup with the Reds.
