Trent Alexander-Arnold shocked fans as he confidently spoke fluent Spanish during his first appearance as a Real Madrid player.
Trent’s Spanish Surprise Steals the Spotlight in Madrid
Football fans were left stunned when Trent Alexander-Arnold ditched the translator and delivered his first Real Madrid speech in fluent Spanish. The former Liverpool full-back was unveiled at the Bernabeu just days after his Anfield exit. He kept his message short but impressive, earning loud applause from Los Blancos.
It was a bold move from the right-back. But, it was a clear sign that he is fully committed to this new chapter. He later admitted in the press conference that he had only been learning Spanish for a few months. Although, his confidence and delivery made it feel like he had been speaking it for years. The moment quickly went viral online, with fans praising his effort.
New Club, New Number, New Era for Trent in Spain
Alexander-Arnold officially parted ways with Liverpool on June 30, following the end of his contract. But Real moved in quickly, paying a £10 million fee to bring him in early. They aimed to have him ready for the Club World Cup.
During his presentation, Trent had a brief slip when he almost said he had been waiting a long time to join Madrid. But, he quickly corrected himself with a smile. The English international will wear the No.12 shirt, previously worn by club legends like Marcelo. Since La Liga rules restrict first-team squad numbers to 1–25, his iconic No.66 was not an option.
Instead of his full surname, his new Real shirt will simply have just ‘Trent’. He’s also changed his Instagram to @trent, marking a fresh identity for his new chapter. He is likely to make his debut on June 18 against Al-Hilal in Miami.
