Alexander-Arnold's Sudden Exit: Injury Halts Champions League Dream

Trent Alexander-Arnold experienced a premature end to his Champions League debut for Real Madrid, exiting the game against Marseille just five minutes after it commenced due to a muscle injury.

While making a solo run, the England defender halted suddenly, clutching the back of his left leg before collapsing to the turf at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and requiring medical attention.

Alexander-Arnold, a recent transfer from Liverpool, who boasts a Champions League and two Premier League titles among his past achievements, was substituted by Dani Carvajal following the mishap.
