Trent Alexander-Arnold was greeted by a crescendo of boos upon his return to boyhood club Liverpool as a Real Madrid player. 

The 27-year-old held his entrance back from the rest of the Spanish side, almost playing the pantomime villain, chatting to Liverpool members of staff just outside the tunnel. 

He then grinned as he trotted onto the turf he spent so many years gracing but the Anfield crowd spotted him and immediately booed. 

As he linked up with his Real team-mates, the right-back wore a broad smile and did not seem remotely bothered by the reception in the Merseyside rain on Tuesday night. 

Alexander-Arnold was named by Xabi Alonso among the substitutes for the Champions League clash. 

And fellow replacement Endrick appeared to joke with him about the reaction towards him from his old supporters, still angered by his decision to leave his boyhood club for the Spanish giants.
