‘Trent Alexander-Arnold has played his last game for Liverpool’ – fans react to latest
Trent Alexander-Arnold has just a few months left on his current Liverpool contract and many fans shared a similar reaction after what happened against PSG.
Liverpool’s hopes of securing a treble in Arne Slot’s first season came to an abrupt end after their Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain.
The tie was forced to penalties after Ousmane Dembele’s early goal levelled the aggregate score. Despite Alisson’s heroics against PSG in the first leg, he was unable to save any spot-kicks, and Liverpool ultimately fell 4-1 in the shootout.
However, beyond the defeat, a moment involving Alexander-Arnold caught the attention of fans and will likely prove a blow as the side prepare to face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.
Arne Slot delivers concerning Trent Alexander-Arnold injury update before Newcastle clash
Liverpool’s Champions League exit was compounded by another major blow, as Alexander-Arnold was forced off in the 73rd minute due to injury.
Speaking after the match, Slot admitted he would be “surprised” if the full-back recovers in time for the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle on 16 March.
Newcastle fans were delighted after Alexander Arnold’s injury, due to the prospect of the side being without first-choice right-back, especially given that the Reds also played extra time in their midweek defeat.
While Conor Bradley has stepped up impressively whenever called upon, losing Alexander-Arnold at such a crucial stage of the season is a huge setback. The 26-year-old has been instrumental for Liverpool this season, making 39 appearances, scoring three goals, and providing seven assists in 2,869 minutes of action.

Liverpool fans fear Alexander-Arnold’s injury could mark the end of his time at Anfield
With just a few months remaining on his contract, Alexander-Arnold has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Football Insider revealed on 28 February that Liverpool are targeting a new right-back alongside a centre-back this summer, suggesting the club could already be preparing for life without their academy graduate.
Many fans now believe his injury against PSG may have been his last appearance for the club, with some convinced it was his “final game in a Liverpool shirt”. If that proves to be the case, it would be a heartbreaking way for one of their academy’s finest products to bow out.
