Trent Alexander-Arnold appears set for hostile reception at Anfield in the Champions League after his mural in Liverpool was vandalised prior to his first return to the club as a Real Madrid player.
A mural on the corner of Sybil Road near Anfield features Alexander-Arnold in a Liverpool shirt.
The mural includes Alexander-Arnold's reaction to winning the Champions League in 2019, when he declared: 'I'm just a normal lad from Liverpool, whose dream has just come true.'
Prior to his return in the same competition on Tuesday with Real Madrid, images have surfaced of the mural having been defaced.
White paint has been thrown over the depiction of Alexander-Arnold in his former No 66 Liverpool shirt.
The words 'Adios El Rata' - 'Goodbye Rat' - have also been written on the mural, along with three further statements declaring their former star to be a 'rat'.
It is the second time Alexander-Arnold's mural has been vandalised, with 'Rat' having been painted on prior to his final appearance for Liverpool back in May.
The word was later removed with the mural fully restored.
The mural was initially commissioned by Liverpool podcast and fanzine The Anfield Wrap in honour of Alexander-Arnold, with the image created by French graffiti artist Akse.
It included a dedication for 'Fans Supporting Foodbanks', which Alexander-Arnold had supported during his time at the club.
Alexander-Arnold's summer departure had caused a backlash from the Liverpool fanbase, with many angry that the full back had let his contract run down, preventing the club from garnering a significant fee.
Alexander-Arnold would ultimately complete a £10m move with Real Madrid opting to sign him ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.
The reception he receives on Tuesday night is a major area of interest when the boyhood Liverpool fan returns to the club he helped win two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
When asked about the possible reception he could receive from Liverpool fans, Alexander-Arnold insisted his feelings to the club will not change.
'Whatever way I'm received, is the decision of the fans,' Alexander-Arnold told Amazon Prime.
'I'll always love the club, I'll always be a fan of the club. I'll always be thankful for the opportunities and the things we achieved together, they'll live with me forever.
'No matter what, my feelings won't change towards Liverpool. I've got memories there that will last me a lifetime, and no matter how I'm received, that won't change.'

football is an entertainment not a religion, some hotheads take it far, Trent was part of the glorious Jürgen era, his long balls to Salah has made Salah the best attacker in the world meaning Liverpool has benefitted from his service in folds why mess his legacy

you don't understand because your team are wicked thieves and played a big part in Trent saying he had not signed when he did already and lied to the fans....he was Liverpool through and through and said he could see himself at Liverpool for life so please get off your high horse..other players have rejected Madrid before and they will in the future ...unfortunately you bribed Trent to go there....

Isak also left Newcastle to join Lipool so they should understand it. Isak was a key figure at Newcastle but at the end he left. Liverpools go and support your team. We Madridistas are coming for 3 goals 3 points
Mumu guy did we tell him not sign new contract.if Arnold were to be your brother I don't think you will advise him to stay. That fact is attractive with or with out champions league. Whiles Madrid is thinking of winning Champions league some teams re thinking of qualification to top4 in their domestic league.

Players can go and come no any problem , when Diaz said he want to go we are happy for him and when Nunez want to go we are so happy for him to .. cause we make our money back , but imagine a player that u have be nurture from child till he become a superstar just left the club without letting them to gain anything is so crazy ... football is business and we know how much we would have gain if Real madrid want to buy him normally but he purposely runs his contract down and just left without being allow the club to make money thats the reason why the fans dislike him ..
bro get ur fact correct, real madrid came countless times to purchase but Liverpool refused, even wen he had 1 year remaining on his contract real madrid came with 50M for him but Liverpool still refused, he also told them he wanna go they stay refused to except money for
