Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has defended teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold after the defender announced he will leave the club this summer, with Real Madrid reportedly his destination. Alexander-Arnold, who was born in Liverpool and came through the club's youth system, played for the first time since confirming his departure as a substitute in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Sunday, receiving boos from some fans. Salah expressed his belief that the fans were too harsh, stating, "I think he didn't deserve it at the time." Alexander-Arnold, who has made 353 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions, scoring 23 goals, and helped the team win two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup, and the League Cup, deserves a fitting farewell, according to Salah. Alexander-Arnold and Salah talked about his decision, but Salah did not try to convince him to stay, acknowledging the difficulty of spending 20 years at a single club.
