TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD played down his status as a potential Liverpool legend after playing a key role in their Champions League success.
The Reds were on Saturday crowned European champions for the sixth time thanks to a 2-0 win against Tottenham in Madrid, a Mohamed Salah penalty and a late Divock Origi strike proving the difference in a largely forgettable game.
Alexander-Arnold was not at his swashbuckling best at right-back but kept Spurs at bay to help write his name in Liverpool folklore.
Asked if it meant the 20-year-old could now be considered an Anfield legend, he told BT Sport: “It’s hard to think of myself as a legend.
“For me, I’m just a normal lad from Liverpool whose dream has come true.
“It’s hard to even put into words what’s just happened, and the celebrations that are going to happen. The season we’ve had we’ve deserved it more than any other team.
“The run we’ve had we’ve beaten everyone in our path.”
He added: “We’ve done something special again tonight. We probably were dominated during the main part of the game but we showed we’re a world class side and can win any way.
“When we look back on tonight we’re not going to think it’s a sluggish game – we’re going to think we’ve won the European Cup.”
With doping and match fixing the Olympic spirit is finished
Just looks like an alternative version of the truth !!!!
The fights were not FIXED , but an air of collusion. So in other words they were fixed. They gotta make you laugh. Bunch of jokers.
not all judges will be re-instated but no signs of collusion?
No evidence apart from what everyone saw with their own eyes
I really hope ppl didn’t believe the truth would’ve came out.
That was some investigation, the dogs on the street know that the referees and judges were obviously in collusion . Money as usual is the root of all evil.
Well sure that’s alright then…..
How to apologise without apologising.
Can’t wait to see Conlon’s debut.
I know a lad named hickey that can get tickets for it.
Tell that to Katie and Michael who were robbed
Katie wasn’t robbed, that was a 50/50 fight to call but it was hardly robbery. Conlan on the other hand….
Good on ya Michael!!! Punish the athlete for speaking the truth but as usual the cream skims away
What a shower of idiots
When you’ve got the AIBA investigating itself, it’s hardly going to make any other conclusion.
My ass, fixed, rigged, call it what u want, cheating
This is the alternative news report on Rio.do they think people are stupid.
Smoke screen!!!
Total cop out. It either was or wasn’t. More likely the former.
And that’s an alternative face
Fact
Remember the President of Brazil was put into power thanks to the CIA, it makes you think?
What a load of crap. Pure corruption
Complete joke
It’s called an air of collusion so no one is brought to task over it.
Olympics is no longer he’ll in high esteem.
Held in high esteem ( pretext f up )
