Trent Alexander-Arnold has been with Liverpool Football Club in some capacity since he was six years old, and his departure 20 years later has enraged Reds supporters. The mentality is all wrong.

Real Madrid signed former Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold to a six-year contract, the Spanish La Liga club announced Friday.

At the end of the storm, Trent Alexander-Arnold found his golden sky. For three weeks, he had walked alone, since announcing he would be leaving Liverpool when his contract expires this summer, but in the end the backlash gave way to something like the perfect send-off. It was, he said, the best day of his life.
