MUNICH (AP) " Already owning just about every championship medal in the game, Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso has decided this season will be his last. "I believe it's the right time," Alonso said Thursday. Alonso could sign off with a treble under Carlo Ancelotti, with whom he won the Champions League in 2014 at Real Madrid. An intelligent midfielder, Alonso always seemed to play the right pass. Alonso has scored five goals in 71 league appearances for Bayern.
