Liverpool fans supplied chants recognising both Andy Robertson and Conor Bradley ahead of kick-off against Real Madrid.
A clear message to returning former Red Trent Alexander-Arnold following the Scouser’s summer switch to the La Liga giants.

The message to our ex-number 66 couldn’t have been clearer as he waltzed onto the pitch for a pre-match warmup.
The boos were instantaneous, though, to be fair, few could argue they were genuinely unexpected for a footballer whose exit left a bitter taste in supporters’ mouths.
Further signs of discontent were aired as Alexander-Arnold took his seat on Madrid’s substitutes’ bench ahead of kick-off at Anfield.

How did Alexander-Arnold react to Liverpool booing?
Reporting on X (formerly Twitter), Theo Squires caught Trent Alexander-Arnold’s live reaction to Liverpool fans booing him as he entered the Anfield pitch.
Footage shared on the social media platform shows the England international smirking in acknowledgement of a cold reception he surely expected ahead of the clash between two of Europe’s footballing titans.

Perhaps he may consider himself slightly fortunate to have some of the limelight taken off him, as Xabi Alonso wisely opted to start the right-back on the bench.

Of course, with only five minutes picked up in the Champions League in the 2025/26 campaign (among a further 151 minutes in La Liga), a starting berth was never a guarantee.
