Football España wanted Alexander-Arnold to play in the Club World Cup. Alexander-Arnold had a solid performance in the Club World Cup. However, he made a mixed start in Spain's Primera Liga, competing with Daniel Carvajal for the starting position. As a result, negative public opinion was formed in his performance at Real Madrid. Thomas Tuchel, the manager of England's national football team, is also not expecting him to play. Alexander-Arnold remains calm despite mounting pressure at Real Madrid. I insist that leaving Liverpool was the right decision.
Alexander-Arnold "was one of the most difficult decisions of my life. Liverpool is my hometown. It made me who I am. But a move to Real Madrid was the right choice at the right time. There was ambition and a personal desire for change. I wanted to challenge myself in a new environment. Of course, Real Madrid's legacy is undeniable. But what captivated me more than that was the desire to test myself.'
