Trent Alexander-Arnold's last game at Liverpool began with Slot's words in the press conference: "During the pre-season I had to speak to him several times because I wasn't completely satisfied with every single minute he trained."

No thanks, a few grievances aired, and good luck for your next adventure. The free transfer departure from Liverpool didn't sit well with the Dutch coach, but he's not the only one who didn't take it "well."

The full-back born in '98 will not renew his expiring contract and will leave the club that raised him after a lifetime. His future will most likely be at Real Madrid, but first, he must face the anger of the Reds fans: the "betrayal" by Liverpool's son was too great, and the reactions show it.

Insults on social media have been joined by burned jerseys, boos at Anfield, and the historic mural defaced with the word "RAT." The anger is immense, and not even the celebrations for the championship victory can ease it.

Forget the farewells of Modric and Ancelotti, in Liverpool the atmosphere is different and the images leave no room for interpretation: no thank-you choreography from the home crowd and a place on the bench in what will be the last official match in the Reds jersey.

However, it was his teammates who applauded the English full-back: Momo Salah asked in recent days to respect a guy who has defended the club's colors since 2005, and the speech made during training touched everyone.

After all, a farewell, although painful, will never erase Alexander-Arnold's achievements with Liverpool: the boy who grew up with red in his heart has written unforgettable pages of history.

Today closes the most important chapter of his life, tomorrow another will open. Liverpool-Trent was a beautiful relationship, and even the boots remember the beginning of it all. Who would have imagined it 20 years ago...

All's well that ends well: after the celebration for the 20th Premier League victory, Anfield gives Alexander-Arnold the farewell he deserves. Applause and tears from Trent, with Klopp also in the stands, watching the scene moved.
