Real Madrid right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has come under heavy criticism for his performance in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich. The hosts suffered a 1:2 defeat in the match held in Madrid. Goal.com reports on this.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane strongly condemned the English player's performance. He noted that Alexander-Arnold acted very sluggishly in the situation that allowed Luis Diaz to score the first goal.
Although Trent provided the assist for Kylian Mbappe's only goal, it could not cover for his defensive shortcomings.
«I'm tired. It's the same thing in every big game.
People always talk about how good his passing is, but what about the basic defensive duties? You cannot make such mistakes at the Champions League level», — Keane said in an interview with CBS.
According to the expert, it is unacceptable for Luis Diaz to bypass the defender so easily. Keane described the player's actions as «childish mistakes» and added that it gave the impression he had never played in his position before.
For information, Alexander-Arnold joined Real Madrid from Liverpool at the beginning of the current season.
The return leg between the teams will take place next Wednesday at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The winner of this tie will face the winner of the PSG and Liverpool match in the semi-finals.
