Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to Anfield as a Liverpool legend; the home-grown emblem of a golden era, hero of two Premier League triumphs and a European Cup win.

A mural of Trent Alexander-Arnold has been vandalised as the Real Madrid right-back prepares to face former club Liverpool on Tuesday.

Alexander-Arnold, who played alongside Jota at Liverpool for five years, was unable to participate in the Reds’ tributes to Jota and Silva at the beginning of the 2025–26 season; the fullback made the move to the Spanish capital to join Real Madrid ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Thomas Tuchel and his assistant Anthony Barry are expected to pass up the chance to personally watch Jude Bellingham on Tuesday night – just three days before naming their latest England squad.

Liverpool stopped the rot with a steady 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday, roared on by an Anfield crowd that stood firm with Arne Slot in the home dugout.

Anfield welcomes today several professionals who have honored its history in the modern age. Legends like Xabi Alonso and Trent return home, but also a Vinicius who has scored five goals in five matches there.

It's Xabi Alonso's day, as he returns to Anfield with Real Madrid to face the club where he spent five successful years. It's Champions Tuesday and the headlines are celebrating it.Atleti hosts Union
