The 26-year-old, back from injury and making his 350th appearance for the club, came off the bench to score a late left-footed goal that edged Liverpool closer to a 20th league title and confirmed Leicester’s relegation. His euphoric shirtless celebration, planting his jersey on the corner flag and soaking in the adoration of the travelling fans, felt like a moment steeped in symbolism.
Questions surrounding Alexander-Arnold’s future have intensified, especially after Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk penned new contracts while he continues to delay talks. With Real Madrid circling and confidence in Spain reportedly high that he will make the move, speculation is growing that Liverpool’s beloved “Scouser in our team” could be on his way out.
Alexander-Arnold remained tight-lipped after the match. “I have said all season that I am not going to speak on my situation,” he said. “But days like this are always special. I’m glad to do my part.”
Manager Arne Slot echoed the sentiment but kept the focus on the football. “My only good answer is to talk about his goal,” Slot said. “He knows when it matters most, he can bring a bit more—and that’s something only top players have.”
Liverpool now sit atop the Premier League table and could clinch the title at Anfield next Sunday against Tottenham. Depending on Arsenal’s result midweek, the party might start even sooner.
Amid the celebration, there remains an air of uncertainty. Will this moment be remembered as a legendary chapter in Alexander-Arnold’s Liverpool story—or the beginning of the end?
For now, the dream of another league title is real. The future, however, remains unwritten.
