Real Madrid Confidencial The photo Trent Alexander-Arnold wanted most: new jersey and the 15M Champions League titles
Alexander Arnold already has a photo from his presentation with Real Madrid to remember
This Thursday, Alexander Arnold is experiencing one of his most exciting days as a footballer. His official presentation as a new Real Madrid player is taking place. At the club's training complex, he has already participated in the first protocol events.
One of them was signing his contract, which will keep him at the club until 2031, alongside Florentino Pérez. In addition, he posed with his new jersey, revealing that he will wear number 12. He takes the number that Marcelo once wore, and the name "Trent" appears on his jersey.
As we mentioned, he posed with it, alongside the president, but also with the club's 15 Champions League trophies. He surely turned to look at them, and he must have done so with a healthy envy. Two of those trophies were won by Real Madrid against his Liverpool, with him in the red squad's ranks.
That's why that photo was very special, and he will keep it in his personal photo album from this day. One of his main goals will be to add a new Champions League trophy to his record. He won one at Liverpool, but he knows that at Real Madrid he'll have many more chances.
Alexander Arnold surprises everyone at his presentation with a great gesture
After the official event, he appeared for the first time as a new Real Madrid player. After Florentino's words, Alexander Arnold took the stage and stood in front of the microphone. That's when he surprised everyone with a gesture no one expected.
He did it in perfect Spanish, something unusual for a British player. In that first speech, he made it clear that he came to adapt from day one. "Thank you to Real Madrid and Florentino Pérez," he began by saying, for allowing him to be there.
He made it clear that his greatest wish was to wear the white jersey as a player. "Signing for a club like Real Madrid doesn't happen every day," he continued in his speech. He finished by acknowledging that "it's a dream come true, I'm looking forward to showing my game."
