Alexander-Arnold and that historic corner v Barca: "Nobody was looking at the ball"

"It was instinctive play. We had not practised it beforehand. I saw an opportunity and I took it. I saw people's backs, people weren't looking at the ball, Ter Stegen giving everybody instructions... There wasn't one Barcelona player who was looking at the ball", he stated in an interview with 'Daily Mail'.

Alexander-Arnold also wanted to emphasise this and continue talking about the key play of the 'Reds': "After this, I realised that Divock Origi was in the area. I saw a red shirt and I thought, why not?"

"If it hadn't have worked they would have yelled at me. The process of thinking about the play was half a second, but it was worth taking a risk. I just hit and thought, 'Let's see what happens," said the Englishman, bursting with pride.

Moreover, Alexander-Arnold also gave us more insight into the keys to his success at Wanda Metropolitano: "To win the Champions League last year, everything we learned in 2018-19 served us, when we lost in the Kiev final against Real Madrid. We learned from Madrid, how they won the games and used it to do the same. "
