Liverpool Fans React to Trent Alexander-Arnold's Mixed Start at Real Madrid After Win Over Juventus



Liverpool supporters are keeping a close eye on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s adjustment to life in Spain following his latest showing for Real Madrid in a narrow 1–0 victory over Juventus during the Club World Cup Round of 16.


The 26-year-old full-back made headlines earlier this summer after ending his long-standing association with Liverpool — a club he’d been part of since childhood. Though speculation suggested he might leave for free when his contract expired, Real Madrid acted swiftly, paying £10 million to secure his services ahead of schedule and integrate him into Xabi Alonso’s squad in time for the global tournament.


Alexander-Arnold's move to the Bernabéu came with high expectations — and plenty of scrutiny. Widely regarded as one of the finest attacking right-backs in the game, his initial appearance in a 1–1 draw against Al-Hilal drew criticism. But since then, he's begun to find his rhythm, helping Madrid string together three consecutive victories as they aim for Club World Cup success.


Mixed Reviews from Liverpool Faithful


Reactions among Liverpool fans have been split. Some have applauded his offensive skillset and vision on the ball, while others have been quick to highlight lapses in his defensive duties. For many, those critiques may reflect lingering disappointment over his departure from Anfield rather than his actual form.


Juventus Match: Strengths and Weaknesses in the Spotlight


In Tuesday night’s clash with Juventus, Alexander-Arnold displayed the same qualities that made him such a standout in England — and the same flaws that often drew critique.


Offensively, he was superb. He assisted Gonzalo Garcia’s decisive goal with a perfectly weighted cross, completed 90% of his passes, and created multiple scoring chances, including two key passes. His calmness and creativity with the ball remain a clear asset for Madrid.


However, questions still surround his defensive capabilities. In a league known for its tactical discipline and structured defending, any inconsistency in the backline can be harshly judged. That will be the true test of Alexander-Arnold's long-term success at Madrid.


As the tournament continues and Real Madrid push forward under Alonso, both Spanish fans and those back on Merseyside will be watching closely — eager to see whether the former Liverpool vice-captain can truly make Spain his new home.
