Real Madrid right-back Trent Aleksander-Arnold will face his former teammate Luis Dias in the Champions League quarter-finals. The players, who once played together at Liverpool, are now representing different clubs. Goal.com reports on this.
Dias is currently enjoying the best season of his career at Bayern Munich.
For Aleksander-Arnold, this match is significant not only at the club level but also for his future with the national team. If he fails to contain the Colombian forward, he could fall out of England manager Tomas Tuxel's plans for the World Cup.
Trent has yet to reach his peak form at the Madrid club due to injuries and tactical changes.
Luis Dias has been directly involved in 40 goals across all competitions for Bayern Munich, averaging 1.08 goal involvements per 90 minutes. This figure is twice as high as his performance during his final season at Liverpool.
Under the management of Vinsent Kompany in Munich, Dias has formed an impressive tandem with Xarri Keyn.
The Real Madrid defender is striving to find his place under Alvaro Arbeloa. Having played only 754 minutes in the Spanish championship this season, the player has recorded four assists.
The upcoming eight-day confrontation is expected to be a turning point in the careers of both stars.
