Trent Alexander-Arnold made his Real Madrid in the Club World Cup, but couldn't get a win

Trent Alexander-Arnold confessed making his Real Madrid debut is "something every player dreams of" but their failure to win in the Club World Cup meant there was "some disappointment".

The former Liverpool right-back has long been linked with Los Blancos and made the move recently with his contract at Anfield expiring.

He's now rubbing shoulders with pal Jude Bellingham as well as Vinicius Jnr and the Arsenal-linked Rodrygo.

They ran out for their opening game in FIFA's Club World Cup but underwhelmed as they were held by Saudi outfit Al-Hilal.

New manager Xabi Alonso is still getting to grips with his squad but Real were firm favourites to down the Middle Eastern side.

Gonzalo Garcia's opener was cancelled out by a penalty from Ruben Neves as Dean Huijsen, formerly of Bournemouth, was another ex-Premier League star to make his debut for the Spanish giants.

Alexander-Arnold admits that he must deal an expectation that tips Real to win "every game you play in" and that clearly soured his first outing as he thanked his new employers and his team-mates for their early show of support after he made the switch.
