He said: "You will walk alone if you're Trent Alexander-Arnold, because he got booed and it was horrible.

"It's so hard if you are a Liverpool born and bred player and you make it to the first team and this level of stardom and success.

If you're that homegrown player, there's nothing you can do.

Honestly, you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

"I really feel for Trent because he'd have gone to bed and he'd have been thinking, 'I've given this club 20 years, 90-odd assists, 25-odd goals, and this is how they treat me.'

"Real want to sign him before the Club World Cup in the summer and it's looking like they might have to pay one or two million euros [to sign him early]

I think from the season that they've had, it should have been nothing but good vibes."

Alexander-Arnold, who has made 353 appearances for Liverpool, securing two Premier League titles and a Champions League crown, has been reassured of his place by coach Arne Slot despite negative sentiments from some quarters.

Slot expressed his concern for Alexander-Arnold after Sunday's match but remained focused on the team's title celebration plans, affirming that the player will indeed feature in the upcoming substantial fixtures against Brighton and Crystal Palace.

Slot said: "I don't think there's any possibility whatever can happen that can take the edge off us winning this 20th league title

The thing I consider is that I want to win a game of football and if we think we can win with Trent, I owe it to his teammates and to the fans, because they hired me to win as many games of football as possible.

"And if I think there's a better chance of winning with Trent, then I will [pick him]

If I think it's a distraction or whatever can happen for us not to play a good game of football, then I might make another decision.

"But I think Trent showed today why I brought him in, because he was very close with a few fantastic crosses for us to win the game."
