After spending his entire career at the club to date, Alexander-Arnold will leave Liverpool this summer to make the switch to Real Madrid on a free transfer. Alexander-Arnold was booed by Liverpool fans at Anfield as he came on against Arsenal in his first appearance since confirming he would be joining Real. Liverpool fans also chanted 'There's only one Conor Bradley' in reference to the academy product who started in place of Alexander-Arnold.
