British media The Sun reported 'Alexander-Arnold's first assist at Real Madrid. However, he left with a major injury. A tough start in Spain continued, reports said.
Alexander-Arnold joined Real Madrid ahead of this season. Real Madrid paid €10m to sign Alexander-Arnold. His contract with Liverpool expired in June 2025. He was able to leave Liverpool on a free agent. However, Real Madrid reportedly paid to use Alexander-Arnold at the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.
It was shocking news. Alexander-Arnold played for Liverpool for nearly 20 years from his youth. He scored 23 goals in 354 appearances for Liverpool. He won a total of nine trophies for Liverpool, including two in the English Premier League (EPL), two in the League Cup, the European Champions League (UCL), the Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the English Football Association (FA) Cup, and one in the FA Community Shield. That's why Liverpool fans were angry about his transfer, saying 'traitor'. But his life at Real Madrid is not easy. He is having a difficult time due to competition and injuries.
