Real Madrid knows that this summer could be very important for their future interests. They are coming off a season in which they couldn't beat Barça in direct clashes or in national competitions. That's why they are already looking for reinforcements in the market to react.

Additionally, Los Blancos will play in the Club World Cup, something the Culers will not do since they did not qualify. There, they have a great opportunity to strike back with an international title. However, that has not been the only thing, as they have used Alexander Arnold to deliver a humiliation to Barça.

This Friday, Real Madrid has officially announced the signing of Alexander Arnold for the Club World Cup. They have also published a video with his best plays, and it surely stung in Barcelona. Especially because of two of the actions they have included from his time playing with Liverpool.

The two assists from Alexander Arnold in the famous 4-0 against Barça at Anfield in the Champions League. Especially the second one, from a corner kick with the Culers lacking intensity and not paying attention. It was one of the most embarrassing goals the blaugranas have conceded.

Real Madrid moved months ago to secure the signing of Alexander Arnold this summer. They took advantage of the fact that his contract ended on June 30 to reach an agreement with him. However, there was still a matter to be dealt with directly with Liverpool.

The Club World Cup starts in mid-June, so they needed him to be released to be available for that date. They finally agreed that it would happen with a payment of €10 million. It was a payment Los Blancos considered necessary to be able to count on him.

With Carvajal still injured, it was essential to bring in a right back. The Brit could take the starting spot while waiting for the Madrid native to recover. All of this is in an attempt to win this new trophy being contested in the United States.
