Frimpong took the shot on 20:20 and scored.

It was meant to be for our No.20. ❤️

All this stuff about Trent Alexander-Arnold walking alone, it’s ridiculous. Yes, hell hath no fury like a fan spurned but some perspective is needed. Don’t be angry that Trent leaves, be thankful for the time together, the memories shared, the trophies won, the road traveled together. Madrid. Wembley. All over. Don’t berate a renowned player with such venom that potential recruits are wary of coming to Liverpool. Don’t give rival fans the chance to slate your treatment of a player. However painful, be respectful. Be proud that a local kid your club nurtured has blossomed into one of the best footballers on the planet. Show Liverpool’s best traits. Support.

Fans stay, professionals move, it’s nothing new. Trent loves Liverpool personally but professionally he has to make career choices. He’s 26. He’s been offered the opportunity to play for the biggest club in the world in Real Madrid. He’s not joining a domestic rival. He’s going abroad, to an unbelievable stadium, city and club. He’s going to a place as obsessed with the European Cup as Liverpool, perhaps even more so.

He’s going to be playing with his mate Jude and with fabulous talent like Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. He’ll probably prefer playing with Vinicius Jr than against him. He’ll be seeing more of the ball and spraying even more of those famous passes around. Especially if Xabi Alonso comes in as coach. Trent has earned this chance.

Liverpool fans will be angry, frustrated, feeling let down. But Trent couldn’t have revealed his intentions before. He focused on the 20, on being ready to come on and score a sublime, very difficult and hugely important goal as the strike against Leicester City. He’s been respectful and today’s statement is full of respect. So wish him well, however tough that may be. He’s represented Liverpool well, the Scouser in the team. Now he will be the Scouser in the Real Madrid team. What an advertisement for Liverpool’s academy, for Liverpool as a club developing such gems of players and people. Remember how much he’s done for the community, food-banks, helping out those disadvantaged, giving another chance for those released by academies. He’s got a moral compass.

Liverpool’s history is about the celebration of players and also that some leave at their peak. Kevin Keegan did. Like Trent, went to Europe for a new challenge. Kenny Dalglish came in to Liverpool and the good times continued to roll. Promptly scored the winner in the European Cup final. Adios, Trent. Hello, Conor Bradley. No player is bigger than the club. And it’s not like Trent is leaving Liverpool in the lurch. They have a brilliant new manager, have just won the title, have a superb recruitment operation and will doubtless strengthen in the summer. 

Trent leaves with a clear conscience and a crammed medal cabinet. Premier League twice, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup. Yes, he goes without Liverpool recouping a fee, and that’s an undeniable frustration. He’s run down his contract. But he never cost them a fee. Yes, he received expert coaching in the academy and been well-paid as a first-teamer. And he’s paid them back with 23 goals and 86 assists in 352 games. His legacy at Liverpool should be lauded. Trent shouldn’t be made to feel he now walks alone. Liverpool are bigger than that. #LFC
