Trent Alexander-Arnold Finally Speaks Spanish: A Major Milestone in His Career

Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed that he began learning Spanish just five months before his presentation at Real Madrid, dispelling rumors that he had long been preparing to leave Liverpool. With the help of his language coach Sara Duque, he focused on football-specific vocabulary to communicate effectively with teammates, the coach, and Madrid supporters.

She praised the English defender’s determination, noting that his ease during the presentation at the Bernabeu was not just about language, but also about respect and professionalism. Alexander-Arnold, who will return to Anfield next Tuesday for the Champions League, explained that learning Spanish quickly helped him integrate better and demonstrate his commitment to his new club. Currently, he has not yet realized the dream he anticipated, held back by injuries and still in the shadow of Carvajal, who remains a strong presence.
