Trent’s Unforgettable La Liga Entrance…
When Trent Alexander-Arnold strutted off during his La Liga debut, the Santiago Bernabeu erupted with applause – but it wasn’t because he played like a superhero. Instead, fans were celebrating the return of Dani Carvajal, whose ACL has in fact recovered faster than a cheetah at a spa! Signing off from his beloved Liverpool, Trent traded Anfield for $13 million to become a Real Madrid player, in time to disappointingly sit out their Club World Cup semi-final in style due to injury. Despite not starting off as a goal-blazing superstar, his debut ended in a 1-0 win against Osasuna.
Upon exiting in the 68th minute, Trent saw the thrilling return of Carvajal, who hadn’t played for Los Blancos in nearly a year. Trent then took to Instagram, basking in the euphoria of his new home with a post that could make an emoji dance. However, he faces a battle fiercer than cats versus laser pointers with Carvajal for the position. Pundit Javier Herraez says the lad’s not quite Premier League sharp, hinting that if he doesn’t shape up soon, Carvajal might just gobble up Trent’s spot like a hungry hippo! Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah, unswayed by the drama, nabbed the PFA Player of the Year award again.
