Following Liverpool’s electrifying win over Real Madrid, emotions ran high — but it was Trent Alexander-Arnold who perfectly summed up the night with a heartfelt tribute to Diogo Jota that’s now earning widespread praise.
️ “He’s easily one of the most underrated players I’ve shared a pitch with. He deserves far more credit — from fans, the media, everyone. What he did tonight was brilliant, and honestly, he’s been doing it regularly. People just overlook it.”
Trent shared these words shortly after Liverpool’s dramatic triumph — a match where Jota delivered a vital assist and worked tirelessly throughout.
Often outshined by some of Liverpool’s bigger names, Jota stood tall with a composed, selfless, and intelligent display. His contribution didn’t go unnoticed among teammates. Trent continued:
“People always talk about the big names and goal-scorers — and yes, we’ve got world-class talent. But Diogo brings something unique.
He’s smart. He sacrifices for the team. And tonight, he showed again that he thrives under pressure. That assist? Pure class. His pressing? Tireless.”
Trent’s remarks quickly caught fire online, with fans rallying behind Jota and calling for him to become a regular starter under Arne Slot — especially after proving himself against one of Europe’s strongest sides.
Leadership. Gratitude. Team spirit. Trent’s message reflected everything Liverpool stands for — acknowledging those who give everything for the badge, regardless of spotlight.
As for Jota? He didn’t need to say much — his performance said it all. And now, the football world is finally taking notice.
