Getty/GOALTrent Alexander-Arnold transfer shows how much Real Madrid care about Club World Cup as 'unreal' PSG tipped to win tournament in America
Getty/GOALTHE BIGGER PICTURE
La Liga giants Real sit within that travelling party, and they will have a fresh face among their ranks after luring England international full-back Alexander-Arnold away from Premier League champions Liverpool.
WHAT SHAY GIVEN SAID
Ex-Manchester City goalkeeper Given - with the Blues another of the sides with Club World Cup glory in their sights - told GOAL when asked who will prove the stiffest opposition to Pep Guardiola’s star-studded outfit: “I don’t know too much about the teams from the other continents, but I imagine it will be a team from Europe that will be the biggest favourites to win it.
“I think PSG were unreal in the Champions League - it was five and could have been eight or nine, that’s how dominant they were. They will have enjoyed the celebrations afterwards, but can they recover and go again? I imagine they will be big favourites to win it.
“Real Madrid, with the history they have in competitions as a club, and Trent Alexander-Arnold has just gone there - paid money to get him early for this competition, so that’s how much it means to them. Manchester City and Chelsea are involved as well, Premier League clubs, we would like to see them do well.”
