🚨
Trent Alexander-Arnold made headlines once again — not just for his transfer to Spanish giants Real Madrid, but for a unique detail fans quickly spotted during his debut at the Club World Cup clash against Al Hilal.

👕 New Number, New Name?
After parting ways with Liverpool earlier this month, the England international was forced to let go of his iconic No.66 jersey due to LaLiga squad regulations. Now wearing the No.12 for Los Blancos, that wasn’t the only noticeable change on his kit.

📛 Why ‘Trent’ Instead of Alexander-Arnold?
In an unexpected move, the right-back is now sporting just “Trent” on the back of his shirt — a decision that left fans curious. During his unveiling at the Bernabéu, the 26-year-old shed some light on the choice.

“Whenever I travel around Europe, people get my name all mixed up — Alexander, Arnold, even Alex,” he revealed. “So I thought, let’s make it easy for everyone. Just go with Trent.”

🔁 A Fresh Start in Spain
This marks a new chapter for the former Liverpool star, who’s now training alongside top talents like Jude Bellingham and fellow summer arrival Dean Huijsen. Despite adjusting to a different tempo and style, Trent expressed enthusiasm about the challenge ahead:

> “It’s a step up in many ways — the pace, the players, the expectations. But I feel good. I’m ready.”



As he begins life at the Bernabéu with a fresh look and a simplified identity, one thing’s clear: Trent is here to make a name for himself — literally. 👀⚪
