🏟️🚨Trent Alexander-Arnold Verdict Given by Spanish Media After Real Madrid vs Mallorca

Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid continued their flawless streak in La Liga this weekend with a 2-1 victory over Mallorca on home soil. The win also marked a return to the starting line-up for Trent Alexander-Arnold and the Santiago Bernabeu faithful have given their verdict on the Englishman’s display.

After a stint at Liverpool, his boyhood club, the defender moved overseas this summer for a new challenge. At first, the La Liga juggernauts signed him on a free transfer, but they later coughed up €10 million so that he could feature at the Club World Cup.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: At 26 years and 132 days of age, Alexander-Arnold became the youngest-ever Liverpool player to reach 250 Premier League appearances.

Although he struggled to hit the ground running following his high-profile summer switch, the Liverpool-born star’s competitive debut for the club was against Osasuna in their Spanish top flight curtain-raiser – but his performance against Mallorca has got the tongues of the Los Blancos fanbase wagging.

Trent Alexander-Arnold in action for Real Madrid

Dani Carvajal – widely regarded as one of the best defenders in world football alongside Alexander-Arnold – went off injured in the 78th minute of Los Blancos’ 3-0 win over Real Oviedo last weekend and, as a result, the England international’s services were called upon a week later.

The 26-year-old started on the right-hand side of a back four consisting of Antonio Rudiger, Dean Huijsen and Alvaro Carreras – but did he impress?

As seen in his highlights reel below, Alexander-Arnold’s passing was on point; 40 of his 47 attempted passes (85%) were accurately played to a teammate, nine of them entered into the final third and his punchy passes often put Mallorca under heaps of pressure.
