Trent Alexander-Arnold is already living the Real Madrid dream, and he hasn’t even kicked a ball for them yet.
Fresh off signing a six-year deal with Los Blancos, the 26-year-old right-back is settling into life in Spain — and what better way to start than by rubbing shoulders with a true Madrid legend?
Over the weekend, Trent was spotted at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Spain, enjoying some well-earned downtime before linking up with his new teammates ahead of the Club World Cup. But it wasn’t just high-speed cars that caught his attention.
At the track, the former Liverpool star crossed paths with none other than Roberto Carlos — one of the most iconic defenders ever to wear the white shirt.
And the best part? The pair shared a lighthearted moment as Roberto Carlos gave Trent a mini Spanish lesson. Cameras caught the Brazilian jokingly teaching him: “Buenos dias, buenos noches, amigo y ya.” which means “Good afternoon, good night, friend and that’s it.”
It was a wholesome exchange between two generations of full-backs, and a moment that surely made Trent feel right at home in Madrid already. With legends like Roberto Carlos giving him tips (linguistic or otherwise), it’s clear the club is ready to embrace their new signing.
