The ex Real Madrid man is innocent as his case was cleared in the Spanish capital

Xavi Alonso was cleared of tax fraud in a Madrid court Tuesday.

The former Real Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern Munich midfielder retired in 2017 but was accused of defrauding the Spanish tax office by 2 million euros between 2010-12.

Alonso did not accept a bargain and maintained his innocence which was eventually proven. He risked a five year jail sentence and a 4 million euro fine.
