The teenager is well aware of the Portuguese superstar's quality but says that he can be stopped from having an impact
Liverpool youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold says that Cristiano Ronaldo may be one of football’s all-time greats, but he is not perfect.
The 19-year-old is preparing himself for the Champions League final in Kiev on Saturday, when the Reds will meet Ronaldo’s Real Madrid.
It will be the biggest night of the teenager’s career to date, but he is optimistic that he can rise to the challenge of nullifying the most prolific attacker in Champions League history.
“He's one of the best players ever,” he told AFP. “He's done unbelievable things in the game, but he's got weaknesses as well, as every player has.
"On Saturday we'll try to exploit them and stop him from doing what he does best, to stop him from scoring.”
Alexander-Arnold, meanwhile, pointed out that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is not the only menace at Zinedine Zidane’s disposal before the weekend’s fixture.
“It is not just a one-man team either,” he said. “They've got other threats too and unbelievable squad depth.
“Even coming off the bench they've got world-class players, so it will be tough for everyone on the pitch and everyone will have the task of a direct opponent who is world class. It will be tough, but we're excited for it.”
The right-back has featured 33 times for Liverpool this season, with the showpiece set to be just his 10th appearance in the competition proper. It could also represent the youngster’s first ever senior trophy.

Pretty sure TA Arnold will have hard time handling Ronaldo; certainly harder than handling Rashford
Rash ford was faster but Ronaldo is smarter. Different strategies.

We were nt born as perfect we were brought up through mistake. No doubt Ronaldo is one of d bst on d planet. Cus of his hardwork he is wat he is today. Every player hv der weakness in d game. No more argument bth Messi & Ronaldo are bst on d planet. Bt der is slightly difference in bst Ronaldo is Great Goal Scorrer & Messi is greatest Of All Tym. So in one word we consider bth as a bst on d planet. Ronaldo is complete goal scorrer & wer Messi is complete player no offence. Need to agree my point. Njoy d game of greatness in our era, d day wen bth Messi & Ronaldo wil retire it wil be d saddest football moment of our lyf. #LM10

Sincerely as a Barca fans i want Liverpool to beat real Madrid but for Arnold to think he can take chance of Ronaldo weakness is stupid. Yes everyone one as weakness but the problem here is that Cr7 weakness is better than your strength. Thank God for you cr7's football speed is on decline if not he would have make you request for extra oxygen
Nice talk boss....

when a team try to stop CR7 then bale and Benzema will come up [Sadtolook] the only way to stop them is prevent them from having the ball

that is why many young players fall before they stand. truly mbappe is already gone off the market of football. naymar and cavi who are the superstars did not even go against Ronaldo because there know. he should learn not to answer some question for not all questions can be answered. he should have wait for the right time ohoh sorry for him.

There's only one coach who knows how to stop LFC and that's Jose Mourinho, by packing the bus, Madrid will never pack the bus, meaning it would be an open contest. While Madrid will be holding possession, Liverpool will be going for the counter. Typical Spanish vs England style.
