""I find it a little bit annoying, disgusting that this is even an issue. This is somebody that has given 20 years to Liverpool Football club. He's won every trophy that they have played for in his time. He should be welcomed back as a hero.""
""The supporters decided what type of reception he gets," Carragher said in response to Schmeichel on CBS' coverage. "Trent throughout those 20 years has played the position of 'I'm a supporter on the pitch'." "So them supporters in the stadium wouldn't leave to join Real Madrid on a free transfer." "You don't leave when you've just won the league title, and you've got the opportunity to win more trophies. Then you join a club that has beaten you twice in a Champions League final. "I totally understand the reaction. I feel we have been hoodwinked a little bit by Trent.""
Trent Alexander-Arnold returned to Anfield as a Real Madrid player and was booed by Liverpool supporters after leaving the club on a free transfer following a contract wind-down. A mural near Anfield was vandalised and fans made their feelings known as the 27-year-old warmed up for Madrid's Champions League clash. Peter Schmeichel criticised the booing, noting Alexander-Arnold's 20 years and trophy haul and saying he should be welcomed as a hero. Jamie Carragher defended the fans' response, arguing supporters decide receptions and that leaving after winning the league to join Real Madrid felt like a betrayal.
