Trent was once 'tortured' by Rashford

The first El Clasico of the 2025/26 season takes place on October 26, and the reunion between England internationals Trent Alexander-Arnold and Marcus Rashford has fans excited.

Rashford used to cause a lot of trouble for Trent.

In the summer of 2025, Rashford left MU to join Barcelona on loan, with a £30 million buyout clause. The player born in 1997 made his debut in Barca's 3-1 victory over Vissel Kobe. Although he only played for about 30 minutes, he quickly became a sensation thanks to his familiar speed and technique.

Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold also left Liverpool to join Real Madrid, opening up the prospect of facing Rashford in the colors of the two La Liga giants. Notably, Alexander-Arnold once publicly admitted that Rashford was the most annoying opponent of his career.

In an interview in 2019, the English defender said bluntly: "Yes, Rashford was the most difficult direct opponent for me, the one who really gave me a lot of trouble on the pitch. I underestimated him and that was an expensive lesson. I hate the feeling of being surpassed like that."

Before joining Real, Alexander-Arnold also shared that his worst match in a Liverpool shirt was when Rashford tormented him. He said: "As a Liverpool player, that was probably the worst match of the season. But when that happens, you have to learn and grow."

When asked how to stop Rashford, Alexander-Arnold replied modestly: "It's very difficult to stop Rashford. He has too many weapons with a great skill set. It can't be the task of just one person, it's a collective effort."

For his part, Rashford was also optimistic after his Barca debut: "I feel fine, a good match and great to play in front of the fans. I believe Hansi Flick can help me play the best football. I am ready to play in any position the team needs."
