The Reds youngster played starring role keeping Leroy Sane quiet in the Champions League quarter-final
It was the kind of performance to define a player.
There was Trent Alexander-Arnold, 19 years of age, Liverpool to his core, representing his home-town club on the big stage. The Champions League quarter-final at Anfield.
Doing so with distinction, too.
There were heroes everywhere during the Reds’ epic 3-0 first-leg victory over Manchester City, but the teenager’s showing was a remarkable one. Handed the sizeable task of stopping Leroy Sane, the young Scouser delivered, big time.
Even more impressive perhaps, is the fact that Alexander-Arnold’s biggest performance for Liverpool came after his toughest few weeks.
