Gareth Southgate has said that Liverpool fans' positive treatment towards Trent Alexander-Arnold and his team-mates has allowed them to get over their Champions League final heartbreak.
The Reds were beaten 1-0 in Paris last Saturday by Real Madrid to end what had been a monumental season, having captured the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, and finished one point behind the eventual Premier League winners Manchester City. The only goal against Carlo Ancelotti's side came when Vinicius Junior got in behind Alexander-Arnold during the second-half.
But 24 hours later and the rapturous reception from the Liverpool fans at the open top bus parade around the city helped lift Alexander-Arnold and the rest of the Anfield dressing room. And Three Lions boss Southgate has said that the 'connection' between players and supporters has helped the right back tremendously.
