"During the discussion about Alexander-Arnold and his reception from Liverpool fans, Scholes said: He probably left a better team to go to a worse team.

"As well as losing 1-0 to Liverpool, Los Blancos suffered a humiliating 5-2 defeat to rivals Atletico Madrid earlier this season. Then again, LFC haven't exactly been doing great recently, even if their worst run of form now looks to be behind them as they followed a run of six defeats from seven with two victories in a row."
"Overall, Alexander-Arnold will probably feel some justification in making the choice he did, as he must have wanted a new challenge after so many years at Liverpool. The 27-year-old was also able to go out on a high, winning the Premier League title in his final year with the club, while he'll now likely feel Real can still be contenders for major trophies such as the Champions League this term."
Trent Alexander-Arnold ran down his Liverpool contract and moved to Real Madrid this summer. He returned to Anfield with Real Madrid and was booed by Liverpool fans during a Champions League match. Real Madrid have had an inconsistent start to the season, including a 1-0 loss to Liverpool and a 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid, while Liverpool endured a poor run before securing two recent victories. Alexander-Arnold departed after winning the Premier League in his final Liverpool season and likely sought a new challenge while still expecting Real Madrid to compete for major trophies.
