Xabi Alonso set a Bundesliga record by having 204 touches of the ball in Bayern Munich's 2-0 win over Cologne.

Alonso, 32, touched the ball every thirty seconds during Bayern's first away victory of the season, surpassing fellow Spanish teammate Thiago Alcantara who enjoyed 177 touches against Eintracht Frankfurt last season.

"200 ball contacts. I need a whole season for that," Bayern attacker Thomas Muller was quoted by Bild.
