Trent Alexander-Arnold is set for an awkward Anfield return in the Champions League - as Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham discover opponents

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been handed an awkward Anfield return after Real Madrid were drawn with Liverpool in the Champions League League Phase.

The defender left Merseyside on a free transfer in the summer after running down his contract, a decision that angered large sections of the support. He was even booed by his own fans when coming off the bench against Arsenal in May, with chants of 'there's only one Conor Bradley' ringing around the ground.

Now Alexander-Arnold, who came through Liverpool's academy and made more than 300 appearances before moving to Spain, will be back on matchday two when Madrid visit Anfield.
