They are trying to give their team the edge, and throw him off a bit."I'm sure they appreciate what he did for the club.

It's one of those things that can happen in football."Bellingham was then asked whether he feels Reds fans' thoughts on Alexander-Arnold will soften over time."Perhaps so," he answered. "When he won the league, and last season, they gave him a good send-off from what I saw.

They were doing the fans' job, I suppose."The England international also conceded that Liverpool were worthy winners, adding: "The scoreline reflects the game, they edged it."Second half, they brought more. It's still really early in the Champions League campaign and we were worse off last season."
