Three Liverpool Players Messaged Trent Immediately After Champions League Draw

Three Liverpool players messaged Trent Alexander-Arnold after the Reds were drawn against Real Madrid in the Champions league.

Alexander-Arnold is set to make his Anfield return on Tuesday, as Real Madrid take on his former club Liverpool in the Champions League.

A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold made 354 appearances for the Reds and won two Premier League titles, a Champions League and the FA Cup, before controversially moving to Los Blancos in the summer upon the expiry of his contract.

“After the draw, Robbo [Andy Robertson], Mo [Salah] and Ibou [Konate] all messaged me, we were just laughing,” Alexander-Arnold told Amazon Prime.

“When the draw was announced, everyone knew it was going to happen, it was destined for that fixture to come.

“It will be a very difficult game, the reception and atmosphere will contribute to that. Although they (Liverpool) haven’t had the results of late, they’re still a top footballing team, and nobody here thinks it’s going to be an easy game."

He added: “If I was to score, then I wouldn’t celebrate. No."

Alexander-Arnold was booed by a large contingent of Anfield in a game against Arsenal after he announced he would be leaving the club upon the expiry of his contract.

Of course, the player could be in line for a similarly hostile reception from supporters, who remain unhappy with the circumstances of his departure.

On the reception he may receive on his Anfield return, the 27-year-old said: “Whatever way I’m received, is the decision of the fans.

“I’ll always love the club, I’ll always be a fan of the club. I’ll always be thankful for the opportunities and the things we achieved together. They’ll live with me forever.

“No matter what, my feelings won’t change towards Liverpool. I’ve got memories there that will last me a lifetime, and no matter how I'm received, that won’t change."
