Alexander-Arnold Reveals Going Up Against One Player Means He's Not Afraid of Cristiano Ronaldo

Liverpool youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold has insisted he isn't worried about coming up against superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League final, because he's already been humbled by another player.

The 19-year-old is gearing up for the biggest game of his life against Real Madrid in Saturday's final in Kiev, and will battle against the likes of record goalscorer Ronaldo in what could be the most difficult challenge of his playing career so far.

The defender could be forgiven for feeling the nerves ahead of the game, but he actually revealed that facing his toughest opponent to date - Manchester City's young star Brandon Barker - is allowing him to feel relaxed about the prospect of trying to contain the Portugal captain.
