Trent Alexander-Arnold's debut with Real Madrid at the 2026 FIFA Club World Cup did not go as expected, to the delight of Liverpool fans, alongside criticism from fans of the white team.
In 65 minutes of play, Trent Alexander-Arnold had worrying statistics: 0 tackles, 12 times losing possession and only 1/5 accurate passes.
Notably, his loss of the ball in midfield almost cost Real Madrid a goal in the 19th minute, if Al Hilal's Renan Lodi had not been flagged offside.
However, it wasn't all bad for Trent Alexander-Arnold on his Real Madrid debut, as the former Liverpool man provided a stunning pass that set up the Vultures' opening goal through Gonzalo Garcia.
But Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defensive ability is a significant concern. It is also one of two areas (alongside one-on-one, one-on-one) that Xabi Alonso has asked his new student to improve, right from watching him on the training pitch.
Witnessing Alexander-Arnold's performance, Liverpool fans were extremely happy, thinking that Real Madrid had "tasted" the fact that the English player had almost no defensive instinct.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid fans frowned at their new recruit, assessing that Trent Alexander-Arnold was not up to the club's level.
Despite a relatively lacklustre debut, Alexander-Arnold said: “ It’s a bit disappointing that we didn’t win. But it’s a memorable day. Making your debut for Real Madrid is something I think almost every player dreams of. So for me it’s huge .”
