When, as expected, Trent Alexander-Arnold steps onto the Stade de France pitch in Paris on Saturday, the Liverpool right-back will be looking to capture his seventh major trophy with the Reds in just six seasons.
The 23-year-old has been part of a period of Anfield success under Jurgen Klopp that has seen the club compete for - and often win - silverware every season. But Alexander-Arnold, who grew up envious of Manchester United's success, has warned that this current Reds team and its supporters cannot afford to get complacent about their current lofty standing in both English and European football.
Speaking exclusively as a guest on blockasset.’s Block Party podcast, he said: “Growing up, I remember looking at Man United and thinking what it would be like to be them going for league titles every year, Champions League trophies every year. So to be able to do that now and be involved in it is something we can’t take for granted. I’ll use Man United as an example again, now, they’re probably thinking, ‘we shouldn’t have taken that sustained period of success for granted because now it seems like we’re far away from it’.
