Trent Alexander-Arnold was boosted by Liverpool’s open-top bus parade on Sunday, according to the England manager, Gareth Southgate, after the heartbreak of the club’s Champions League final defeat. Liverpool lost 1-0 to Real Madrid in Paris on Saturday night, with Alexander-Arnold at fault for the goal, which was scored by Vinicius Junior.

Alexander-Arnold and his teammates were not convinced about whether they should have the parade, Southgate said, which was to celebrate the season as a whole. Liverpool finished second in the Premier League to Manchester City, despite a 92-point haul, but they did win the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
