Liverpool Airport has delivered a stinging five-word dig at Trent Alexander-Arnold after he left Anfield for Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold opted to run down his contract at his boyhood club before joining Real this summer, with the Reds eventually receiving a £10million fee to enable the right back to play in the Club World Cup.
The 26-year-old defender is in line to make his debut for the Spanish giants when they take on Al-Hilal in Miami on Wednesday.
He received a mixed reception in his final weeks on Merseyside after confirming his departure, with his own fans booing him when he came on as a substitute against Arsenal last month.
The England star has made an effort to endear himself to his new club and their supporters by giving a speech in fluent Spanish and sharing his early experiences as a Real Madrid player on social media.
That, however, has not left him immune to continued criticism from home.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has come under fire as he prepares to make his debut for Real Madrid
Liverpool John Lennon Airport pointed out that Alexander-Arnold flew out from Manchester
The 26-year-old impressed his new fans by speaking in fluent Spanish in his presentation
One post in particular drew the attention of Liverpool John Lennon Airport who reacted by making a snide dig at Alexander-Arnold on their official X account.
Alexander-Arnold posted a montage of his flight to Madrid and his presentation as a Real player to the backdrop of Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny’s Monaco.
Liverpool John Lennon Airport quoted the post on their own X account and wrote: ‘He even flew from Manchester’, accompanied by a snake emoji.
The tweet was later replaced, with the snake swapped for an eyeroll emoji but not before it was seen by hundreds of people.
Alexander-Arnold, who signed a six-year-old deal at Madrid, has taken the squad number 12 and will be known simply as ‘Trent’.
After Real’s opener against Al-Hilal, the Spanish giants will face Pachuca and RB Salzburg in the group phase of the revamped Club World Cup.
