Liverpool supporters made their feelings known before kick-off against Real Madrid, directing chants towards both Andy Robertson and Conor Bradley \u2013 and sending a not-so-subtle message to former favourite Trent Alexander-Arnold.<\/p>\n
The atmosphere was already lively as the Reds prepared to face Xabi Alonso\u2019s side, fresh from a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa and a 5-1 thrashing of Frankfurt in Europe.<\/p>\n
Liverpool fans make their stance clear on Trent<\/p>\n
As Alexander-Arnold stepped out for the warm-up, the reaction was immediate. Boos rang around Anfield \u2013 hardly surprising given how sour the right-back\u2019s departure felt for many fans.<\/p>\n
The discontent continued when the ex-No.66 took his place on Madrid\u2019s bench, with supporters again voicing their frustration.<\/p>\n
(Video shared by The Anfield Wrap on X captures the pre-match chants.)<\/p>\n
Trent\u2019s response to the boos<\/p>\n
Journalist Theo Squires shared footage on X showing Trent\u2019s reaction as he walked onto the pitch. The England international could be seen smirking, seemingly unfazed and fully aware of the reception awaiting him.<\/p>\n
With only limited game time for his new club, Alonso\u2019s decision to leave him out of the starting XI may have taken some pressure off.<\/p>\n
Trent Alexander-Arnold\u2019s record at Real Madrid so far<\/p>\n
546 minutes played (10 appearances)<\/p>\n
2 assists<\/p>\n
0 goals
\n(Includes Club World Cup appearances \u2013 via Transfermarkt)<\/p>\n
Having featured for just five minutes in the Champions League this season \u2013 along with 151 La Liga minutes \u2013 a starting spot was never certain.<\/p>\n
Why are Liverpool fans angry?<\/p>\n
Trent\u2019s decision to join a club he once labelled a \u201cdirect rival\u201d was always going to sting. Add to that the fact he ran down his contract before Madrid paid \u20ac10m to bring him in early, and it\u2019s easy to see why many supporters feel let down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
