Mohamed Salah has defended Trent Alexander-Arnold against the boos he received from some Liverpool fans during his recent substitute appearance. Expressing surprise and sadness over the treatment, Salah highlighted Alexander-Arnold's significant contributions to the club over two decades. The midfielder's decision to leave for a new challenge, likely to Real Madrid, has led to controversy overshadowing Liverpool's successful season. Salah emphasized the mental toll of being at one club for so long and urged fans to show appreciation for Alexander-Arnold's Loyalty.
I told him [Alexander-Arnold] yesterday: Do not give me eye contact in your farewell, because I really love him. He deserves the best farewell leaving the club.
He has done a lot for the city and a lot for the club. He was probably the best homegrown player in the club's history and he needed a new challenge.
People do not know about it much, but he is 20 years in the club. It is so tough mentally for someone to be 20 years in a club.
The fans have been harsh with him. He didn't deserve that because he gave it all to the fans.
