Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has come under heavy fire from pundits for his defensive lapses during a 2-1 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defensive capabilities were scrutinized after Real Madrid’s narrow defeat to Bayern Munich.
Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane heavily criticized the right-back for his role in Luis Diaz’s opening goal, expressing frustration with the recurring nature of the errors.
Keane remarked, “Listen, I’m fed up. It’s the same story in every important game. People don’t stop talking about how well he passes.”
The England international’s struggle to contain Diaz has prompted calls for Dani Carvajal to return to the starting eleven for the second leg in Munich.
While Alexander-Arnold’s attacking prowess is undisputed, Keane insisted, “At this level, in the Champions League, you can’t switch off like that. It’s a child’s mistake.”
Manager Alvaro Arbeloa now faces a difficult tactical decision to salvage Madrid’s European campaign.
