Alexander-Arnold: “We’ve got respect from every big club in Europe”

Trent Alexander-Arnold has spoken of his disappointment at not winning the Premier League this season but knows where Liverpool now stand among the top teams in Europe.

The 20-year-old Scouser lifted the Champions League trophy on Saturday evening in Madrid after helping his side overcome Tottenham Hotspur in a tough match.

But the young right-back still wishes his side had been able to beat Manchester City to their domestic league title last month.

“It wasn’t meant to be and you look back at it with a bit of disappointment,” Alexander-Arnold said.

“It’s been a great season to look back on. Apart from a few niggles, I cannot pick out a bad moment in the season.”

Commenting on his clever corner in the semi-final against Barcelona, he added: “That win changed something.

“We were 3-0 down and everyone thought we were down and out. But by the end of the game everyone believed we could win it.

“We’re up there with one of the best teams in the world now and we’ve got respect from every big club in Europe.”

On his upcoming duties with England, he added: “It will be tough against the Netherlands, they have a top side and in Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum they have two players that are in fine form.

“It will be very sweet to come back in the summer with two medals and beating players that you see on a daily basis is always sweeter.”
