Liverpool Departure Sparks Fan Backlash…
Trent Alexander-Arnold has repeated that leaving Liverpool was the toughest choice he’s ever made. Now playing for Real Madrid, he signed a six-year contract, but a handful of Liverpool fans are about as happy as a cat at a dog show. Real Madrid hasn’t been all smooth sailing either, as Trent’s been warming the bench more than a marshmallow by a campfire. Even Michael Owen, the Liverpool legend who took a similar route, said some die-hard fans are unlikely to join the ‘Trent Fan Club’ anytime soon, as parts of the Reds’ followers weren’t shy in showing their displeasure towards the end of last season.
Chatting with GQ Espana, Trent opened up about why he switched from Anfield to the Bernabeu. “It was a colossal decision,” he confessed, noting the appeal of Real Madrid’s undeniable legacy and his personal craving for new challenges. Despite his ambition, he’s seen limited action in Spain, appearing in only two of the three league matches. Picture a rubber duck in a bathtub race and you’ve got Trent’s early days at Real Madrid! Meanwhile, England coach Thomas Tuchel has gone for Reece James and Tino Livramento over Trent for the squad, suggesting expensive Spanish tapas might not be the only hard thing for him to digest right now.
