Liverpool fans call out Trent Alexander-Arnold for Instagram post that 'could come back to bite him'

Liverpool fans have called out Trent Alexander-Arnold over one of his latest social media posts ahead of their Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Liverpool have made a flying start to the season under new head coach Arne Slot and are currently eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.

The Reds are also top of the Champions League table, having won all four of their matches in the competition so far this season.

Slot's side face their toughest test of the league phase on Wednesday night when defending champions Real Madrid visit Anfield.

The two teams have come up against each other on numerous occasions in Europe in recent seasons, with Liverpool losing to the Spanish side in both the 2018 and 2022 Champions League finals.

There is another intriguing storyline in the match, with Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold strongly linked with a move to Madrid.

The 26-year-old is out contract at the end of the season and is yet to commit to a new long-term deal, the same situation as teammates Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

Alexander-Arnold is known to be close friends with England teammate Jude Bellingham, who snubbed a move to Liverpool to join Madrid instead in 2023.

With speculation swirling over his future, Alexander-Arnold has angered some Liverpool fans with a post on social media.

He posted a picture of himself with a Google Pixel phone to Instagram, captioning the ad: "Trust me to make the switch…. to Google Pixel", followed by a wink emoji.

Some Liverpool supporters failed to see the funny side of the post, with one commenting on Reddit: "Trent has a big decision to make. Does he want to be Steven Gerrard? Or Steve McManaman?

"A choice of two Steve's, I know which one I'd pick."

Another added: "If he stays, this is elite f***ery from the lad and this will be a running joke for the coming years. If he actually leaves, this post is going to come back to bite him, he's going to face a massive amount of resentment from the fanbase."

However, others were more optimistic about the post and its potential meaning.

"I'm taking the trolling as a 'don't worry guys, I'm not leaving' lmao," added another fan.

While another wrote: "I think he trolling Madrid more than us. We don't want him to make the switch, they do."
