Liverpool supporters and Liverpool legends couldn’t understand why Trent Alexander-Arnold gave up the opportunity to play his way into one of the greatest in club history, the right-back retired after 354 appearances in the red shirt at the age of 26. The choice he made was exit, Real Madrid and a hefty sign-on fee of 20 million euros and a super salary. Everyone has the right to make their own choice, but the farewell to the Liverpool supporters was anything but friendly. Now comes the “punishment”.
Some Liverpool supporters posted messages on social media after Alexander’s unsuccessful debut in a Real Madrid shirt at the Club World Cup, that the 26-year-old will now realise he was dependent on Salah and the other Liverpool players around him to succeed. This would be revealed when the superegos at Real Madrid were the teammates. We’re guessing there are some at Liverpool who feel the need to unleash a little schadenfreude.
