Trent Alexander-Arnold discloses the things he learned from Real Madrid vs Liverpool 2018 Champions League final defeat
Right-back for Liverpool Trent Alexander-Arnold discussed what he learned from his team’s 3-1 loss to Real Madrid in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final.
He claimed to have learnt how to take control of a game and win games like Los Blancos.
Alexander-Arnold, 23, began the final in Kyiv with a burgeoning reputation as one of Europe’s most promising full-back prospects.
Unfortunately for the English defender, he was on the losing end of the match, with Real Madrid capitalizing on errors by goalkeeper Lorius Karius to win.
Alexander-Arnold has written on what he learned from the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium defeat.
He said that the setback had taught his team how to win.
According to BT Sport, he said:
“Just hated it at first, probably biggest defeat in my career, but for me, the best lesson what we ever got taught was that game. How to win, how to win the Champions League, how to win a final, how to win a Game.”
“The way they took control of the game after taking the lead was something I’d never seen a team do before. So I think that taught us as a team a lot on how to win games.”
