Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed how proud he was to have been given the captain’s armband in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw in Denmark.
The fullback was making his return to the pitch after a one-month injury layoff, as part of the club’s youngest-ever Champions League starting XI, with the Red becoming the third youngest to captain the side.
“An extremely proud moment for me and the people who have helped me do that,” Alexander-Arnold said at full-time.
“You've obviously got to give thanks to the manager and the staff who chose me to captain the team tonight. It was a really proud night for me on a personal note. I think I'll look back on tonight with fond memories as being captain for the first time.
“Obviously it's always been a dream, it's always special to play on Champions League nights. To lead the team out was incredibly proud, it was something that was different, new to me. It was special, it felt special out there.
“Yeah, I only told a few people, to be fair. I kept it quite close to my chest and didn't want to make it bigger than what it was. I tried to focus on the game as much as possible but I think the people that needed to know knew. It was a proud moment for the family.”
