Trent Alexander-Arnold's girlfriend has supported the footballer after he reached the quarter final of the FIFA Club World Cup with Spanish side Real Madrid.

Alexander-Arnold was unveiled as a Madrid player on June 12 after joining from boyhood club Liverpool.

The 26-year-old's two-decade-long stint with the Reds came to an end as the right-back decided to leave Anfield after his contract ended on June 30, 2025.

As he was unveiled as a Madrid player, the England international spoke fluent Spanish to the press.

Alexander-Arnold, who has joined the Spanish side on a six-year contract, said: "I want to show Real Madrid fans how I play.

I do realise I'm signing for Real Madrid, the demands are high, but I'm going to give my all to the team and Real Madrid fans."

Since joining the starting line-up, Alexander-Arnold has started every Club World Cup game so far, but will face competition from Dani Carvajal when he returns to action after recovering from the serious knee injury he suffered back in October.

After reaching the quarter final of the competition following a 1-0 victory against Italian side Juventus, the Scouser has received support as he assisted the only goal of the game.

Others praised the first goal contribution of his Madrid career.

Sharing a picture to Instagram last month, the footballer's girlfriend Estelle Behnke wrote "so proud" alongside a picture of her and Trent walking as she put her arm around him and he sported a full Madrid kit.

In his news conference shortly after the unveiling, in which he spoke English, Alexander-Arnold said he had been learning Spanish for "few months".

He added: "For me, it was important to be able to do that and it shows that the intent I have got is to come here and have a good start, to get off on the right foot and to achieve something straight away, starting with the Club World Cup."

Alexander-Arnold was booed by sections of the Liverpool crowd in his first game after announcing he would be leaving the club.
