Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to face criticism from Spanish media after Real Madrid's 2-1 victory at Celta Vigo, with multiple outlets highlighting his defensive struggles and questioning his adaptation to La LigaTrent Alexander-Arnold worked with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool(Image: Getty Images)Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to face scrutiny despite Real Madrid snatching a dramatic late win at Celta Vigo on Friday.The former Liverpool full-back found himself in the firing line of Spanish media criticism, with Fede Valverde's stoppage-time winner doing little to shield him from negative reviews. "Trent's situation is very worrying," it stated."The Englishman is a problem in defense for Real Madrid, as demonstrated by Celta's first goal.

Alexander-Arnold is only a few months into his six-year deal at the Bernabeu, yet some anticipated greater impact by now — despite injury problems disrupting his campaign."Tchouameni gave Real Madrid an early lead, but Celta Vigo quickly equalised through Borja Iglesias, in a move that once again exposed Trent Alexander-Arnold's shortcomings this season," the outlet wrote. "The English right-back, a shadow of his former self at Liverpool, arrived at Real Madrid with the reputation of a superstar, but as a Real Madrid player, he's a complete flop."Trent's lack of motivation, sluggishness, and poor positioning for the 1-1 equaliser were appalling.

Though the outlet did acknowledge his involvement in the opening goal."It's clear that Trent Alexander-Arnold's adaptation to Real Madrid has been difficult, but in the few minutes he's played this season, due to injuries, he's already made headlines," the publication's write-up read. "The Englishman proved to be one of the best right-backs in the world at Liverpool, but his strengths aren't the typical ones associated with the position."Meanwhile, AS recognized Alexander-Arnold's attacking contributions, both in setting up Tchouameni's opening goal and Vinicius' effort that struck the frame moments earlier.
