Trent Alexander-Arnold rinsed by Real Madrid team-mate as three-word comment goes viral

Trent Alexander-Arnold received positive messages of support from multiple members of the Real Madrid dressing room after making an Instagram post to commemorate his 'first win in white'. But one of his new team-mates went against the grain by knocking him down a peg in hilarious fashion.

Alexander-Arnold has started both of Real's Club World Cup group games after the club forked out £8.6million for Liverpool to release him from his contract ahead of the tournament. While his first outing was not an entirely positive one, as he played in a 1-1 draw with Saudi side Al-Hilal last Wednesday, his second on Sunday resulted in a comfortable 3-1 win over Pachuca.

After the game, Alexander-Arnold posted a series of photos with the caption: "First win in white! Hala Madrid". Several Real stars piled in to show solidarity with their new team-mate.

There were fire emojis all round as Arda Guler commented "Quality", Jude Bellingham said "cook", Brahim Diaz wrote "Let's gooo mate" and Vinicius Junior also showed his support. But fellow new signing Dean Huijsen took a different approach.

As two of the four photos on the slideshow depicted Alexander-Arnold screaming into the stands with his mouth open wide, Huijsen wrote: "Close your mouth". The light-hearted banter between the pair evidently went down well as almost 70,000 users 'liked' the comment.

Alexander-Arnold appears to be getting on well in his new environment, and he will have been helped by the Spanish he learned before moving to the Bernabeu. The 26-year-old admits he still has plenty to take on board, but with players like Huijsen who have experience of playing in England, there is no language barrier at all.

"I mean, unless it's like Spanish to Spanish players, then if me or Jude are involved, then the lads will tend to speak in English so we can understand," Alexander-Arnold told the .

"But it's probably, I don't know, in some ways easier than what I thought it would be, in some ways harder. The meetings and the tactical talks are all in Spanish so they take some getting used to.

"But in terms of day to day conversations, it's easy. I have a decent base level of Spanish so I can hold a decent conversation with the lads and likewise they have a very good understanding of English so it's easy to communicate."
