Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Viral Response to Questions About Man City’s Treble Aspirations

by · Published · Updated

Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold recently garnered attention for his response to a question about Manchester City’s chances of winning the treble. After a challenging season for Alexander-Arnold and his Liverpool teammates, where they failed to replicate their impressive form from the 2021/2022 campaign, the team fell short of securing a spot in the Champions League, settling instead for the Europa League.

In contrast, Manchester City finds themselves on the brink of achieving a treble after triumphing in the FA Cup on Saturday [2]. Alexander-Arnold was approached by Sky Sports reporter Craig Slater prior to the F1 Spanish Grand Prix and asked about City’s potential treble victory. Responding in a seemingly nonchalant manner, Alexander-Arnold quipped, “Who?” before adding, “I think Man City are always favorites for everything”.

Fans swiftly reacted to Alexander-Arnold’s response, with some expressing their amusement and disbelief. One fan remarked, “Who? I can’t anymore,” while another tweeted, “Bro was not in the same universe”. Another supporter praised Alexander-Arnold’s answer, stating, “Perfect answer. And there are 115 reasons why they are always favorites for everything” [3]. The humorous aspect of his “Who” retort did not go unnoticed, as one commentator wrote, “Hahahaha oh man,” and another added, “It’s the ‘Who’ that gets me”.

Looking ahead, Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool aim to reclaim their position among the top teams in the upcoming 2023/2024 season. They face a crucial summer transfer window, and manager Jurgen Klopp has hinted at the club’s busy off-season plans to strengthen the squad and narrow the gap between themselves and the top four teams. Reports suggest that Liverpool is nearing a deal to acquire Alexis Mac Allister, a midfielder from Brighton and Hove Albion. The 24-year-old Argentinian is expected to be one of several midfield signings for Liverpool, with names like Manu Kone from Borussia Monchengladbach and Khephren Thuram from Nice also linked to the club.

Additionally, Liverpool is rumored to be targeting at least one defender, with Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich and Micky van de Ven from Wolfsburg being mentioned as potential signings.
