Watching a beloved player depart from your football club is never an easy pill to swallow for fans.
Right now, Liverpool supporters are grappling with the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to join Real Madrid this summer.
The full-back, who has dedicated his entire career to Anfield, has been a cherished figure among the Liverpool faithful.
With over 350 appearances for the team he grew up supporting, there truly wasn’t a right-back that Liverpool fans would have preferred to represent their club over him.
That sentiment shifted dramatically when he revealed his decision to leave at the end of his contract and head to the renowned Santiago Bernabeu.
While the Anfield faithful once looked up to him, their feelings toward Alexander-Arnold have shifted dramatically. Recently, they’ve even resorted to blocking him on social media following his latest post.
Although he grew up a passionate Liverpool fan and has devoted his entire career to the Reds, Alexander-Arnold clearly has a spark of excitement about his move to Real Madrid.
During his first press conference with the club, he spoke fluent Spanish, showcasing his commitment.
He even shared a video on social media highlighting his journey to the iconic Santiago Bernabeu, and amusingly captioned it with a house emoji, suggesting that he’s already considering Madrid his new home.
It’s clear that the recent post hasn’t gone down well with Liverpool supporters.
Many have shared their discontent in the comments, and some have even chosen to block the full-back.
One fan responded to his video on X (Twitter) expressing relief at being able to unfollow him, saying: “I’ve never been so glad to rid you from my feed. Whatever legacy you think you’ve built, you’re fooling yourself.
Enjoy your money for comfort, as that’s all you’ll have when you’re older.
“Another supporter compared the England star’s legacy at Liverpool to that of Steven Gerrard, remarking: “You talked about emulating Gerrard in the past. You’ll never be mentioned alongside him.
It’s so disappointing as a Scouser who stood by you through thick and thin, despite the media attacks.
You’ve made your bed,” while yet another simply wished him, “All the worst, mate.
”A fourth fan expressed their decision to unfollow Alexander-Arnold, posting: “I can’t even stick by you anymore, mate.
Of course, you won’t care. Just don’t come back here begging when you’re eventually let go from Madrid.
This short-term money grab will haunt you for life, so stay in Spain.
” Another couldn’t help but criticize the caption of the video, saying: “20 years with Liverpool and yet 24 hours in Madrid is your idea of ‘Home.’ This move is bound to flop.
“One supporter went as far as to share a screenshot of blocking Alexander-Arnold on X, while another warned him about facing Liverpool in the future, stating: “Enjoy your trip to Anfield next season, mate. We’ll be seeing you soon. You haven’t gotten away from us.”
