According to reports from Defensa Central, Liverpool supporters are preparing a hostile reception for Trent Alexander-Arnold when Real Madrid visit Anfield in November.

The full-back, who spent over two decades at the club, left on a free transfer last summer to join the Spanish giants — a move that has left many fans feeling betrayed.

The November fixture is still weeks away, but anticipation is already building. Reports suggest that if Alexander-Arnold is fit enough to start, he will “not be received with enthusiasm by the local fans, who believe the 27-year-old betrayed the club by breaching his contract after rising through the academy.”

For many supporters, the decision to walk away after 21 years represents a painful departure from one of Liverpool’s own.

A Complicated Relationship with His Boyhood Club

Despite the frustration from the fanbase, Alexander-Arnold has continued to express affection for Liverpool.

The defender joined the club’s academy in 2004 and went on to play a key role in their Champions League and Premier League triumphs under Jürgen Klopp.

Even after leaving, he has spoken publicly about his respect and gratitude toward the club that shaped him.

However, from his perspective, the move to Real Madrid was a professional decision.

With his contract expiring and new challenges beckoning abroad, he viewed the Spanish capital as an irresistible opportunity to test himself at another elite level.

Settling into Life at Real Madrid

After a brief injury spell, Alexander-Arnold has recently returned to full training and could make a short appearance in Real Madrid’s upcoming league match against Getafe.

While his performances have not yet reached the standards that made him one of Europe’s most dynamic full-backs, Madrid’s coaching staff reportedly remain patient.

They see his early months in Spain as an adaptation phase — both tactically and emotionally — as he adjusts to a new system and environment. His technical quality and leadership are still highly valued, and the club expects him to rediscover his best form as the season progresses.

Emotional Return Awaits at Anfield

The November clash promises to be one of the most emotionally charged fixtures of the season. For Alexander-Arnold, it represents a return to the ground where he became a world-class talent and a local hero. For the fans, however, it is a reminder of a painful farewell that still feels too recent.

As Real Madrid prepare to face Liverpool under the Anfield lights, the atmosphere is expected to be electric — and tense. How Alexander-Arnold handles the emotion of returning home could define not only his night but also his ongoing journey in Madrid.
