Trent Alexander-Arnold Bids Emotional Farewell to Liverpool After 20 Years

The beloved full-back, a product of Liverpool's youth academy, was visibly moved to tears after the 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, his last appearance in the iconic red jersey.

The 26-year-old, who came on as a substitute in the second half, is set to join La Liga giants Real Madrid as a free agent in the upcoming summer transfer window. This move has been met with mixed reactions from the Liverpool faithful. While initially greeted with boos upon the news of his departure, Alexander-Arnold received a heartfelt send-off at Anfield. The crowd chanted his name and showed their appreciation for his years of service.

Alexander-Arnold, who has represented Liverpool in 256 matches and scored 18 goals, expressed his gratitude to the fans. "From the bottom of my heart I hope that one day the fans, supporters will recognise what I did for the team," he said, overwhelmed by the reception. He emphasized his lifelong dedication to the club, having been a Liverpool fan since the age of six. He also has 33 appearances for England, scoring four goals.

The move to Real Madrid is expected to be finalized before the FIFA Club World Cup.
