Champions League Final: I’ll Expose Cristiano Ronaldo’s Weaknesses – Alex Arnold by Youngherry(m): 5:42pm On May 24, 2018
Liverpool’s young defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold has said that facing a five-time World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo in Saturday’s Champions League final in Kiev will be his greatest challenge ever.

The England defender, however, vowed to exploit the Portugal captain’s own weaknesses during the encounter.

The 19-year-old right-back has had a splendid season for Liverpool which was capped by a call-up to England’s World Cup squad despite not having yet made his debut for the senior national side.

Liverpool’s young defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold has said that facing a five-time World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo in Saturday’s Champions League final in Kiev will be his greatest challenge ever.


The England defender, however, vowed to exploit the Portugal captain’s own weaknesses during the encounter.

The 19-year-old right-back has had a splendid season for Liverpool which was capped by a call-up to England’s World Cup squad despite not having yet made his debut for the senior national side.


The defender helped the Reds reach the Champions League final after eleven years.

Ronaldo is going for his fifth Champions League winner’s medal having also lifted the trophy with Manchester United in 2008.

Alexander-Arnold who classed Ronaldo as “one of the best players ever”, is confident the Portuguese can be shut down by an improving Liverpool defence.

“Obviously it will be,” he said when asked if facing Ronaldo is the biggest challenge of his young career.

“He’s one of the best players ever. He’s done unbelievable things in the game, but he’s got weaknesses as well, as every player has.

“On Saturday we’ll try to exploit them and stop him from doing what he does best, to stop him from scoring.

Alex is still Alex until he does stop Ronaldo. Then he can be tagged Alex The Great.

Marcelo should overlap and Salah would make him pay for it.

I also see Carvajal, Casemeiro or Ramos getting either a yellow or red card in that game.

that's actually the trap. Even klopp agreed that such tactics wouldn't work. Marcelo overlaps salah jams varane if he escapes he jam Ramos.

So varane can outrun Salah? Ramos won't tackle without getting a caution from d ref

which salah are you even talking about, the one ordinary Rudiger pocketed during Chelsea match?

Varane doesn't have to outrun him all they will do is block their shots send it to kroos that's the end.

Even Messi agreed that Real Madrid is currently the best team in the world.
His reason being that Real always get positive results no matter how badly they play.
