Liverpool vs Real Madrid is always one of the classics in the Champions League and this match is one of the most anticpated games of the season.

Not only is there quality among both teams but many wanted to see how Liverpool fans at Anfield would recive their former vice-captian, Trent Alexander-Arnold, who left the club to join Real Madrid this past summer.

Alexander-Anorld's move to Real Madrid is seen as controversial as he left the club on a very small fee. Alexander-Arnold refused to sign a contact extension with Liverpool and inteded to leave the club for free.

The English right-back was at Liverpool since he was 6 years old but his move was very unpopular among the Liverpool faithful.
