Real Madrid: Spanish press targets a starting player

Real Madrid: despite the win, a star comes under fire!

Real Madrid’s victory away at Celta Vigo (2-1) wasn’t enough to hide Trent Alexander-Arnold’s struggles. Starting at right-back, the England international endured a particularly tough night in Galicia, singled out after poorly managing a play that allowed the hosts to equalize.

On the play that led to Borja Iglesias’s goal, Alexander-Arnold was caught off guard, even though he was in a less favorable position. A late intervention and lack of defensive discipline did not go unnoticed by Spanish observers.

“My God, Trent, what a defensive performance on that goal! If you can even call it a defensive performance. Slow, out of position, and ultimately lost in the box,” blasted Marca.

Despite the criticism, the English fullback still has supporters within the club. His attacking contribution remains valued, as shown by the move that led to Vinicius hitting the post early in the match.

the Madrid press points out, as the player is enduring a difficult season marked by several injuries and inconsistent performances.
