Alexander-Arnold - Carvajal

Boost for Trent?! Real to release six-time UCL winner Carvajal

Real Madrid legend Dani Carvajal faces a heartbreaking exit as the club plan to release the veteran right-back this summer. Plagued by injuries and a reported breakdown in relations with the coaching staff during a dismal, trophyless season, his departure potentially paves the way for Trent Alexander-Arnold to cement his place as the undisputed starter at right-back for Los Blancos.

Roy Keane has criticised right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold following Real Madrid’s 2-1 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich. The former Manchester United captain, renowned for his no-nonsense approach, delivered his assessment during the post-match analysis, arguing that the Liverpool defender was out of position on several key occasions.

Diaz test will decide Trent's England fate

Trent must lock down Diaz or kiss World Cup hopes goodbye

It was one of those passes that only Trent Alexander-Arnold could play. Liverpool had struggled to break down Tottenham in December 2024, Spurs holding strong for 23 minutes despite waves of pressure. And then, Alexander-Arnold delivered the killer ball.

Jude must start for England - but Kane is the key to WC26 glory

It's never easy with the England men's national team. On paper, they should have enough quality, experience and firepower to blow most sides on this planet to smithereens. Then you sit down, watch them and wonder whether they are actually a team of total strangers assembled purely out of spite to mildly annoy the fans who had hoped so much of them. On the basis of their March friendlies, it would be a fair assumption to make.
