Trent Alexander-Arnold could receive a rancorous reception when he returns to Anfield for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Liverpool, but the Real Madrid defender said no amount of hostility from the fans can dampen his love for his boyhood club.
Liverpool-born Alexander-Arnold rose through the club’s youth ranks and won two Premier League titles, the Champions League and the Club World Cup with the Merseyside team.
His decision not to sign a new contract with the club sparked angry reactions from many Liverpool supporters, who jeered him in a Premier League match against Arsenal in May after he said he wanted to experience a new challenge.
«I think the way I am received is the decision of the fans,» Alexander-Arnold said Amazon Prime on Sunday. «I will always love the club. I will always remain a fan of the club.»
«Whatever happens, my feelings towards Liverpool won’t change. I have memories there that will last a lifetime and no matter how I’m received, that won’t change.»

Liverpool have struggled in recent weeks, suffering six defeats in their last eight games in all competitions, but Alexander-Arnold said no-one at Real would underestimate the Premier League champions.
“It will be a very difficult match, the reception and the atmosphere will contribute to that, but above all the football for me,” the 27-year-old added.
“Although they haven’t had any results recently, they are still a top football team and no one here thinks it will be an easy game.»
