The Reason Trent Alexander-Arnold Didn’t Speak to the Media After Liverpool’s Title Victory
Trent Alexander-Arnold was notably absent from media duties after Liverpool secured the Premier League title on Sunday — and there is now an explanation for it.
Liverpool celebrated a historic 20th league championship with a resounding 5-1 comeback win over Tottenham at Anfield, sealing the title with four games left in Arne Slot’s debut season. Unlike their 2020 title win — when COVID-19 restrictions kept fans away from Anfield — this triumph saw joyous celebrations inside and outside the stadium, even though the official trophy ceremony is scheduled for later.
Many players and manager Arne Slot spoke to the press post-match, including captain Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, both of whom recently signed contract extensions to stay at the club.
In contrast, Alexander-Arnold remains the only major player yet to renew his deal, with his contract set to expire this summer amid ongoing rumors linking him to Real Madrid.
Despite the growing speculation over his future, Alexander-Arnold once again remained silent. According to American broadcaster Peacock, Liverpool had decided to keep the defender away from the media, confirming he would not be available for interviews.
What Alexander-Arnold Did After the Title Was Won
Following the victory, the 26-year-old — who had recently scored a crucial winner against Leicester — still shared a heartfelt moment with the Anfield faithful. Fellow academy graduate Curtis Jones encouraged him toward the Kop, where fans passionately chanted his name.
In response, Alexander-Arnold applauded the crowd and tapped the area on his shirt where the Liverpool badge normally sits — though the jersey was reversed to showcase the words “Champions 24/25” in gold.
Liverpool will conclude their season with four remaining matches, with the trophy lift set for May 25 after their final home game against Crystal Palace.
