Overview
- Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring a second-half header.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed during warm-ups and again when introduced late in the second half, and a nearby mural of him was defaced before the match.
- Peter Schmeichel condemned the reception as “disgusting” and said Alexander-Arnold should have been welcomed as a hero for his years of service.
- Jamie Carragher said supporters feel “hoodwinked” by how the defender handled his exit and later expressed hope the hostility softens over time.
- Jude Bellingham argued the boos did not reflect fans’ true feelings, while Teddy Sheringham called the reaction “fickle” and said the player has moved on to bigger things.
