‘Best fullback on planet earth,’ Liverpool fans hail 20-year-old after stunning display against Barcelona

Liverpool fans have expressed their delight at the performance of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who bagged a couple of assists during the club’s Champions League comeback against Barcelona at Anfield.

The Reds trailed by a 3-0 scoreline following the first leg of their semi-final at the Camp Nou and not many gave them the chance of making the comeback with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino on the sidelines.

However, they managed to overcome the odds with a stunning display and Trent Alexander-Arnold was one of the many standout performers on the night as the Reds secured a 4-0 triumph.

While there were many stars during the game, Alexander-Arnold, in particular, captured the eye of some Reds fans after his intelligence to take a quick corner allowed Divock Origi to score against an absent Barca defence.

Here are some reactions following the game….

The rest of Liverpool's players in the dressing-room or doing interviews, so Trent Alexander-Arnold enjoys a lap of honour on his own. Quite true. Twenty years old, local lad, absolutely brilliant performance, heading for his second Champions League final, living the dream.

Trent is the best fullback on planet earth, and he’s a Scouser, and he’s 20.

Trent Alexander-Arnold. Where to even start. 20 years of age. What he just did in that football match was obscene.
