Alexander-Arnold was born in Liverpool and soon showed his talent as a student of the Merseyside Red Devils. At the age of 20, this defender has been a mainstay of the Reds. In the 2018-2019 season, Alexander-Arnold has played extremely well, contributing 16 assists in all competitions, including a smart pass to Divock Origi to score the fourth goal that sealed an unimaginable comeback against Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
With Juergen Klopp named in the starting lineup against Tottenham in the Madrid final in the early morning of June 2, Alexander-Arnold became the youngest player to start twice in a row in the Champions League final. This achievement of Alexander-Arnold broke the achievement that Christian Panucci (AC Milan) had achieved in the 1993-1994 and 1994-1925 seasons. Christian Panucci was only 22 years old at the time. The common point between Alexander-Arnold and Panucci is that they have both won 1 and lost 1 of their 2 consecutive finals.
In the Madrid match, the England international continued to show his role as a good defender and contributed to Liverpool winning the Champions League silver Cup for the 6th time in history after a 2-0 victory over Tottenham. After the match, Trent Alexander-Arnold shared about his dream come true.
Its hard to describe in words. With what we have shown this season, we deserved this title more than any other team. We did something special and controlled the final well, Alexander-Arnold told BT Sport.
When asked if the victory was enough to become a legend of the club, the 1998-born player said: Its hard to think of yourself as a legend. I am just an ordinary guy from Liverpool and making my dream come true, Alexander-Arnold added.
