Dominik Szoboszlai’s reaction after Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed by Liverpool fans at Anfield said a lot.

Trent Alexander-Arnold faced a mixed reaction from the Anfield crowd after coming on as a second-half substitute during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal. His role in the build-up to Arsenal’s equalising goal—keeping Mikel Merino onside—did little to ease the already tense atmosphere.

The full-back had recently announced his decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the season on a free transfer, with reports suggesting he has a verbal agreement in place to join Real Madrid. The news has caused division among Liverpool fans, some of whom booed him when he replaced Conor Bradley during the match.

According to Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele, the jeers continued after the game, even as Alexander-Arnold applauded the home crowd. Teammate Dominik Szoboszlai appeared to signal to the fans to ease up on the criticism.

After the match, manager Arne Slot addressed the situation, acknowledging the fans’ right to express their feelings, while also pointing out the emotional weight Alexander-Arnold must be carrying.

Club legend Jamie Carragher weighed in, stating that while he didn’t support the booing, he also didn’t think the player should receive a grand farewell. “He’s decided to go,” Carragher said. “I don’t think there should be a send-off or a farewell speech. He’s made his choice to leave.”
