Alexander-Arnold’s fluent Spanish became dominant conversation on social media
Premier League side Liverpool have been subjected to ridicule by Real Madrid supporters and other football fans on social media following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s presentation at Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold has signed a six-year contract with the La Liga giants.
His deal includes a staggering €1 billion (£840 million) release clause which has been standard for all marquee signings at Real Madrid.
Arnold, who moved to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer, was unveiled at the Santiago Bernabéu on June 12, 2025, to officially announce his presence.
The player surprised everyone when he delivered his speech in fluent Spanish which he later revealed he had been studying for “a few months” ahead of the move.
“I think he [Perez] was happy with the amount of Spanish I was able to speak which I think surprised a lot of people,” he said during the press conference.
Some of the Los Blancos fans ridiculed Trent’s former club Liverpool who were confident the player would renew his contract prior to the end of the season.
They noted that the player’s inconsistent performances for the club last season suggested he had divided attention and was more focused on his new destination.
Others laughed at Liverpool fans who initially rubbished the move and were emotional about him learning Spanish while playing for them.

Man secretly agreed to join Madrid since 2 years was left in his contract. He’s been learning Spanish since then.
