Trent’s Number Drama Hits La Liga Rules…
Trent Alexander-Arnold might travel to Spain this summer, but he’ll have to leave his iconic No. 66 shirt behind – sorry, Trent, no souvenirs allowed! If he kisses Liverpool goodbye and heads to Real Madrid at season’s end, he’s in for a new squad number adventure. Why? La Liga insists first-team players must pick numbers 1 through 25. Gone are the days of 66 on his back; guess he needs a new lucky charm!
Madrid eyes the 26-year-old Trent with binoculars since, well, forever. If he finally says “Hola, Madrid!” then someone in the current squad better pack their bags and clear a locker. With just numbers 12, 24, and 25 available – and 12 usually reserved for superfans – options aren’t even decent! Trent might need a number picking strategy fresher than his latest TikTok.
Trent’s famous No. 66 came from Liverpool kit man Lee Radcliffe, who believed high numbers keep youngsters grounded. Who knew it would stick like beans on toast? Now, Trent faces a not-so-high stakes game in Spain as he picks a new jersey number adventure. Remember Trent, embrace the change and remember, it’s not the size of the number but the magic it brings!
