Have a suspicion that Alonso is done at top level.
Why do you think so?
He's still a *key player for Real and one of the players along with Ronaldo who Mourinho can't afford to give any breather. I expect him to play on for years at the top level as he's always relied on top class positioning and passing(good tackler too by the way), so even If he becomes slower than he's now, It won't affect his game that much. He's very similar to our Arteta, although I'd say more talented(better).
*No one's better at switching play quickly over long distance IMO, and they rely on those passes for their counter attacks(which is their main game plan).
