Trent Alexander-Arnold has his first name on the back of his shirt at Real Madrid

Trent Alexander-Arnold was heavily involved in a mixed debut for Real Madrid as the post-Liverpool spell of his career truly began.

The 26-year-old, with the name Trent and number 12 on the back of his white kit, started for Xabi Alonso's side in their Club World Cup opener against Al-Hilal, which ended 1-1.

If it had not fully sunk in that Alexander-Arnold had left his boyhood club after 354 games and a clean sweep of all the major trophies it surely has now.

The England man - an £8.4m signing whose Liverpool deal was due to expire on 30 June - was involved in both the good and bad side of things before being replaced in the 65th minute.
