Trent Alexander-Arnold delivered a farewell speech to his Liverpool teammates at the AXA Training Centre before his final match for the club. The Reds are set to face Crystal Palace in their upcoming Premier League fixture, which will mark the English defender’s last appearance in front of the Anfield fans.
Although his previous home game against Arsenal saw him booed by some supporters, Alexander-Arnold received plenty of support from his teammates during his final training session.
According to the Liverpool Echo, club captain Virgil van Dijk led the send-off with an emotional message:
“Trent, we all knew this moment would come. On behalf of everyone here, thank you for everything you’ve done. Your time at Liverpool has brought us great success and unforgettable moments both on and off the pitch. You’ll be missed—not just as a player, but as a person. You’re truly exceptional. We wish you nothing but the best, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We also have a little something for you.”
Van Dijk then presented him with a framed Liverpool shirt featuring his name and number 66, as the team applauded.
Alexander-Arnold’s Emotional Farewell
In a heartfelt, unscripted speech captured on video and shared online, Alexander-Arnold expressed his gratitude:
“I’m forever thankful for everything I’ve been given. These are the moments we all dream of, but for me, it’s even more meaningful—I’ve been here 20 years.
“This has been a huge part of my life—really, my entire life—and everything I’ve worked and dreamed for. To experience it alongside all of you, and to form these bonds, especially with guys like Virgil and Alisson who’ve watched me grow from a kid to a man, means the world to me.
“The friendships and brotherhood we’ve built will stay with me forever.”
Alexander-Arnold is set to join Real Madrid this summer after his Liverpool contract ends.
