Additionally, Alexander-Arnold is struggling to establish himself at Real Madrid, where he is being compared to Dani Carvajal. Some Spanish football journalists believe that Carvajal will surpass Alexander-Arnold in the team.
Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague shared his thoughts on Alexander-Arnold's situation, saying, "The Spanish media have a narrative already on Trent: 'he's too shy, he doesn't fit in, Dani Carvajal will surpass him'."
Balague also expressed his hope that Alexander-Arnold would hear this and take it seriously, as he faces a big challenge in adapting to Xabi Alonso's team and playing consistently.
Balague believes that Alexander-Arnold needs to learn and understand what is expected of him in order to succeed at Real Madrid.
