Liverpool star Alexander-Arnold fuels Madrid speculation with Bellingham post

Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has taken to social media and congratulated Jude Bellingham after Real Madrid triumphed over Borussia Dortmund in Saturday's UEFA Champions League final.

Second half goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior sealed a 2-0 win for Carlo Ancelotti's side at Wembley Stadium - with former Reds manager Jurgen Klopp in attendance - meaning they are kings of Europe for a record 15th time.

Similar to Liverpool in the 2022 final in Paris, there's a strong argument that Dortmund were the better side for large parts, particularly in the first-half, but they too learned the hard way that missed chances against this Real Madrid side will ultimately comeback to haunt you.

Despite twice being on the losing side against Los Blancos in Champions League finals, Alexander-Arnold was still happy to see his close friend Bellingham win European football's biggest prize for the first time.

The England midfielder, who claimed the assist for Vinicius Junior's goal, took to Instagram following the game and in the comments section of his post, Alexander-Arnold reacted with a message that could be taken in many ways.

Alexander-Arnold congratulates Bellingham

Of course, Alexander-Arnold is referring to the first of many Champions Leagues Bellingham will win before his career is over and let's face it, Real Madrid will always be among the favourites to go all the way each season.

Although could the right-back be predicting the first of two European trophies this summer? After all, he and Bellingham are expected to be named in the final 26-man England squad for Euro 2024 where the pressure is on to deliver a first major international trophy since 1966.
