Supporters of La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Saturday evening moved to lavish collective praise on a member of the club’s defensive ranks.

The player in question? Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action on the domestic front, in a league meeting with Villarreal.
