TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD spoke fluent Spanish as he was unveiled as a Real Madrid player this afternoon.
The former Liverpool star left fans stunned as he addressed the media in Spanish, rather than immediately using a translator.
For his Real Madrid unveiling, Alexander-Arnold prepared a short speech.
Speaking in Spanish, the 26-year-old said: "Good afternoon. Thank you to (club president) Florentino Perez and the club for this opportunity.
"This doesn't happen every day, it's a dream come true.
"I'm very happy and proud to be here. I want to show Real Madrid fans how I play.
"I realise that I am signing for Real Madrid and that the demands are high but I am going to give my all for the team and Real Madrid fans.
"I want to show those fans how I play, I want to win many titles, I want to be a winner here and enjoy playing alongside the best players in the world. Hala Madrid."
Alexander-Arnold's minute-long speech prompted huge applause from the gathered crowd, who clearly admired the Englishman's efforts to speak Spanish.
The two-time Premier League winner's speech sparked plenty of reaction online.
One fan wrote: "Wait a minute.. Trent can speak Spanish?? He’s so ready."
While a second posted: "No way he was learning Spanish while he was still a Liverpool player."
A third joked: "Been planning this move for 18 months on his Spanish language app whilst in the changing room."
And another added: "He was on Duolingo instead of practising defending .. fairs yo."
Alexander-Arnold announced on May 5 that he'd be leaving Liverpool upon the expiry of his contract on June 30.
Real Madrid eventually agreed to pay a £10m fee in order to bring their new man in for the Club World Cup.
The full-back could make his debut for his new side as they take on Al-Hilal in Miami on June 18.
Alexander-Arnold will wear the No12 shirt at Real Madrid, previously worn by Marcelo and Eduardo Camavinga.
His usual No66 is not permitted in LaLiga, with first team players having to wear a number between one and 25.
The Real Madrid new boy will also have "Trent" on the back of his shirt, rather than "Alexander-Arnold".
While he has also changed his Instagram handle from @trentarnold66 to @trent.
