😬 ā€œMuch to correctā€ – Spanish media reacts to Trent’s shaky Real Madrid debut

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Real Madrid debut didn’t exactly go to plan — and the Spanish press isn’t sugar-coating it.

The former Liverpool star made his first appearance in white as Real Madrid were held 1-1 by Al-Hilal in their Club World Cup opener. It wasn’t a disaster… but it also wasn’t a dream debut.

šŸ‡ŖšŸ‡ø According to Marca, Trent was caught sleeping early, losing his man before Al-Hilal had a goal ruled out for offside. They noted his ā€œglove of a right footā€, but pointed out clear defensive lapses.

šŸ—£ ā€œThere’s much to correct.ā€

šŸ”„ Defensa Central gave him a 5/10, saying it was a ā€œdiscreet debutā€ and that the heat clearly took its toll — with Trent subbed off after 65 mins looking gassed.

Madrid fans are hoping it’s just first-day jitters. But after costing $11.4m and replacing a fan favourite, the pressure is very real.

From booed at Anfield to questioned in Madrid – this new chapter might take a little longer to heat up.
