Liverpool Fans Criticize Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Final Social Media Post Before Exit
Trent Alexander-Arnold has come under fire from Liverpool supporters following a recent social media post ahead of what is expected to be his final game for the club. The right-back, whose contract ends this summer, is set to bid farewell to Anfield during Sunday’s match against Crystal Palace.
Since announcing his departure, Alexander-Arnold has faced backlash from fans, with even manager Jürgen Klopp expressing disagreement over the way he’s been treated. However, that hasn’t stopped criticism of his latest online activity.
In a tweet posted before the match, Alexander-Arnold shared an image of a pair of custom Adidas Predator boots bearing the years 2005 and 2025—marking his time at Liverpool. The caption read: “20 years. Gave it everything.” While seemingly emotional, many fans interpreted the post as a disguised advertisement for Adidas rather than a heartfelt farewell.
Reactions on social media were scathing. One fan commented, “More concerned about brand deals than the club. Enjoy Madrid, Mr. Celebrity.” Others accused him of using a significant moment for personal promotion, with remarks like, “Last game for your boyhood club and you’re advertising boots? Embarrassing,” and “An Adidas advert on your farewell post says it all.”
Another summed up the general mood: “An ad for Adidas before lifting the Premier League title with your boyhood club is a sad way to bow out.”
