Trent Alexander-Arnold put in a standout display during Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory over RB Salzburg in the Club World Cup, proving why the Spanish giants signed him from Liverpool this summer.
Displaying composure in possession and confidence down the right wing, Trent appeared right at home in his new Madrid kit.
However, during the post-match interview, he couldn’t resist a light-hearted dig at his former club.
Vinicius Jr, who notched both a goal and an assist, was one of Madrid’s standout performers — and someone Trent knows all too well from past Champions League clashes.
“Vini Jr has given me some tough games before,” Trent said with a laugh. “Glad it’s someone else dealing with that now instead of me.”
Was it really necessary to revisit those tough Champions League nights with Liverpool, especially being burned by Vinicius?
While Trent seems to be flourishing in Spain, his playful remark likely hit a nerve with some Liverpool fans.
