Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially begun a new chapter in his career after completing a high-profile move from Liverpool to Real Madrid — and he’s already winning over the fans in Madrid with more than just his football.
The 25-year-old right-back stunned the audience at his unveiling ceremony by delivering his entire welcome speech in Spanish, a move that drew applause and admiration from everyone in attendance.
Following club president Florentino Pérez’s introduction, Alexander-Arnold confidently took to the podium and addressed the crowd in their native language.
“Thank you all for this opportunity,” he began, to the delight of fans and media alike. “Signing for Madrid doesn’t happen every day. It’s a dream come true.”
The England international made it clear he understands the gravity of joining the 15-time Champions League winners. “I’m really looking forward to showing my game to the Real Madrid fans. I’m aware of the responsibility that comes with playing here,” he said.
Alexander-Arnold concluded his speech with passion and ambition, stating: “I’m going to give it my all to show off my game and win lots of titles. Thank you very much, and Hala Madrid!”
The speech, though brief, reflected a sense of humility and determination as he steps into one of world football’s most demanding environments. His decision to speak in Spanish was widely praised, with many seeing it as a sign of respect for the club’s culture and supporters — and a signal of his commitment to integrating quickly.
Known for his technical brilliance, vision, and trademark passing range, Alexander-Arnold joins a star-studded Real Madrid squad already brimming with talent. His arrival marks the latest in a string of high-profile moves for the club as they look to build on their recent successes in both domestic and European competitions.
