Alexis Mac Allister seemed to send a playful message to Trent Alexander-Arnold after netting the winner against Real Madrid at Anfield.

The Argentine midfielder scored the decisive goal in the 61st minute, nodding home Dominik Szoboszlai’s pinpoint free-kick to hand Liverpool a crucial Champions League group-stage victory over Xabi Alonso’s side. The Reds came into the clash fresh from a 5-1 triumph over Frankfurt in Germany, and Mac Allister’s contribution ensured their momentum continued.
