'We'll be unstoppable' - Alexander-Arnold says first trophy will lead to Liverpool dominance

A Champions League win could lead to a period of sustained success for the Reds, according to one of their young stars.

TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD believes Liverpool will become โ€œunstoppableโ€ once they secure their first piece of silverware under manager Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool face Tottenham in the Champions League final in Madrid on Saturday looking to deliver the clubโ€™s first trophy since 2012.

Kloppโ€™s men managed to secure 97 points in the Premier League this season, but fell short to champions Manchester City.

But Alexander-Arnold feels a title could lead to a period of sustained success for Liverpool.

โ€œThis team is good enough to win leagues, to win Champions Leagues,โ€ the full-back told ESPN.

โ€œWeโ€™ve shown that across the last two seasons especially and we just need to get over the line now.

โ€œIโ€™m sure as soon as we get one, weโ€™ll be unstoppable and thatโ€™s the focus for us โ€“ becoming a formidable team that is unbreakable.โ€

Liverpool are in the Champions League final for the second straight season, having suffered a 3-1 loss to Real Madrid last year in what was a bit of a surprise run to the showpiece event.  

But Alexander-Arnold, 20, thinks Liverpool are ready to take on the challenge of playing in another final, with the experience of being there last season providing a boost for a side he believes are now โ€œmore complete.โ€ 

โ€œThis time we know what itโ€™s all about, we understand everything around the game so weโ€™ll be more prepared in that respect,โ€ he said.

โ€œWeโ€™re a more complete team. During the course of this season, weโ€™ve shown a variety of ways to win and to conduct ourselves. When we score first, weโ€™re very hard to break down. If we need a late goal, we can produce it. If we need to manage a period of a game and take the sting out of it, we know what to do.

โ€œIf weโ€™re not at 100 per cent, Spurs can hurt us, but we will be leaving everything weโ€™ve got on that pitch.โ€
