Liverpool Fans Erupt After Arnold's Statement, Aggressive Reaction

Liverpool Fans Can't Handle Arnold's Departure and React Incredibly Against Him

The big announcement has finally arrived, and it's that Alexander-Arnold, after a long wait by the fans, has announced that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season. Additionally, Fabrizio Romano confirmed on his social media account that he will join Real Madrid after reaching an agreement with the Merengue circle. It's a true dream for Madridism to have two of the best in the world on the right flank.

However, for Liverpool fans, this is far from good news. They lose a world-class star all of a sudden. Moreover, being a homegrown player, it leaves an even deeper wound in those who thought he could be their "One club man".

Meanwhile, things have gotten out of control, with a video on social media of some fans burning the number 66 jersey as a sign of repudiation and hatred for his transfer.

We've seen this type of behavior before in other fanbases, mainly when there's a significant rivalry involved. Although it's not official as such, it seems that Liverpool fans have a specific hatred for Real Madrid, and Arnold's situation is considered a betrayal.

They No Longer Want Their Homegrown Player

The performance Arnold has given throughout his career with the English team has been very good, to the point of being one of the best in the world to date. Although they have faced Real Madrid a good number of times, mostly losing, it doesn't justify these actions.

In the video, we can clearly see how these fans, arbitrarily, burn the number 66 jersey, complaining about his departure and "banning" him from Liverpool. An action purely out of the anger caused by his move to the best club in the world.

Arnold has decided not only to take another step in his career but the most important one for him as a player by joining the most demanding team in the world. This should be enough to receive the affection of those who have seen him grow, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

He Wants to Succeed on a Grand Scale

Liverpool is a titanic team, no doubt, but it's not Real Madrid, and that has been proven a good number of times. Therefore, Arnold wants to experience something beyond greatness; he wants to be part of the best club in history and make history in it.
