Watch: Roberto Carlos praises Alexander-Arnold in Cafu comparison

It’s not just Jon Flannagan who gets praise from Brazilian full-backs as Trent Alexander-Arnold has become the latest to join the club.

Speaking with GOAL, Roberto Carlos was asked to compare full-backs through the ages and Cafu was on top in easy competitions until our vice captain came into the debate.

The Brazilian said: “Caramba! Alexander-Arnold is a very good player but for the history – it’s Cafu.”

It was only Paolo Maldini who beat the World Cup winning captain but our No.66 was very much the closest to winning any other debate which is quite the compliment.
