Trent Alexander-Arnold has sparked debate after posting a pointed “Madrid and nothing else” message on social media following his omission from Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad.
Real Madrid star Trent Alexander-Arnold has broken his silence after being snubbed by England manager Thomas Tuchel for the upcoming international break.
Despite returning to fitness and providing a vital assist in Sunday’s Madrid derby, the 27-year-old was overlooked in favor of a returning Ben White.
Responding on social media, the fullback shared a carousel of celebration photos with the telling caption, “Madrid. Y nada mas.”
The phrase, which translates to “Madrid. And nothing else,” is seen by many as a direct reaction to his ongoing international exile.
Alexander-Arnold has struggled with injuries this season, limiting his opportunities to impress the new England boss.
After proving his quality as a substitute against Atlético Madrid, the defender appears focused solely on Real Madrid’s pursuit of a domestic and European double.
