Liverpool fans booed Trent Alexander-Arnold during their 2-2 draw against Arsenal in his first appearance at Anfield since announcing his departure at the end of the season, with a move to Real Madrid expected. While some fans cheered, audible jeers were heard when he came on as a substitute. Teammate Andrew Robertson admitted it was "not nice" to witness. Manager Arne Slot had opted to start Conor Bradley, seen as Alexander-Arnold's successor. Slot stated he would still pick Alexander-Arnold if he believed it would help the team win, despite the mixed reaction from the supporters. Jamie Carragher also expressed his frustration with the booing of a player wearing the Liverpool shirt.
