The English full-back was accompanied by Emilio Butragueno, Director of Institutional Relations, during the press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexander-Arnold said: \u201cIt&#8217;s very exciting for me, it&#8217;s a day I&#8217;ve been waiting for for a long time. I&#8217;m very proud, it&#8217;s a dream come true for me. There&#8217;s a lot of work ahead and I&#8217;m eager to get started right away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The player said it had long been clear to him that he would only leave Liverpool to join Real Madrid. \u201cI knew for a long time that I would only leave Liverpool for Real Madrid. No one else. It was never a question of: where do I go? It was always do I go to Madrid or not?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The English footballer showed great enthusiasm to begin this new stage and to face the challenges that await him at the club. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been lucky to play for the biggest team in England and now I&#8217;m at the biggest in Spain. Both have won many trophies and dominated their leagues. It&#8217;s an honour to represent both of them. At both clubs, you&#8217;re expected to win and perform well; there are many similarities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He joins former Liverpool legend and new Madrid manager Xabi Alonso after winning a second Premier League title with Arne Slot&#8217;s Reds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alonso won the Champions League with Liverpool as a player in 2005 during a memorable final against AC Milan of which Alexander-Arnold has fond memories. &#8220;I grew up a Liverpool fan, being able to see (that game in) Istanbul with the manager now, doing amazing things there, part of an incredible final.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I have him to thank for my high standards. We haven&#8217;t been formally introduced, but we&#8217;ll be able to talk about what he expects from me in the next few days,&#8221; concluded the former Liverpool player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trent Alexander-Arnold has been officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player, expressing his pride and excitement ahead of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":567,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565\/revisions\/567"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
