'My family sacrificed a lot for me' - Liverpool's Alexander-Arnold opens up on his path to stardom

The Reds defender says he owes a lot to his loved ones for helping him get to where he is now

Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold says his family 'sacrificed a lot' so that he could fulfil his dream of becoming a professional footballer.

The 21-year-old won the Champions League with his boyhood club last season and has added to that haul of silverware as the Reds claimed the UEFA Supercup and the FIFA Club World Cup. However, the defender claims none of it would have been possible if not for his family.

“[My family] sacrificed a lot for me to be able to play football when I had to," Alexander-Arnold told The Red Bulletin.
