WATCH THE CLIP

While Egyptian sensation Salah had an impressive run in Alexander-Arnold's imaginary tournament, defeating <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/miserable-souls-harry-kane-backed-silence-critics-bayern-transfer-shunning-premier-league-return-breaking-trophy-duck/bltdf9fe3142cd67c4d" target="_blank">Bayern Munich's Harry Kane</a> in the round of 16, he ultimately fell short in the semi-finals against Portuguese forward Ronaldo. Whereas, in the other bracket, Messi knocked out former Real Madrid star Karim Benzema to set up a finale with Ronaldo.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Alexander-Arnold is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/make-a-copy-news-template/blte0ad15c81620d69c" target="_blank">currently nursing an injury which will keep him out of the Carabao Cup final </a>against Chelsea on Sunday. While Conor Bradley has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-vs-luton-conor-bradley-cody-gakpo/blt5b6ab0b1a13afdd2" target="_blank">admirably stepped in</a> to fill the void, his leadership and versatility will be sorely missed by the Reds faithful.
