Liverpool is now in the elite and feared ranks
Liverpool made it through to the 2018/19 Champions League final. In addition, although thin, the Reds are also still likely to win the Premier League title for the first time.
According to Trent Alexander-Arnold, this is a massive statement from Liverpool - that they have placed themselves in the ranks of the world's football elite and become a feared team.
In the Champions League last season, Liverpool reached the final but lost to Real Madrid. This time, in the final against Tottenham, Liverpool did not want to fail again.
"The championship trophy shows your position. "The main thing for us is to qualify for the finals, step one step further than last year and win it," Alexander-Arnold said, as quoted by Mirror.
"This is a sign of improvement - entering the final day of the league and still competing for the title, and reaching the Champions League final."
"This shows that we are able to compete in all aspects and move to the end. This is a massive statement to show that we are able to do things like this. "
Liverpool qualified for the Champions League final after making a comeback action against Barcelona. Losing 0-3 at the Camp Nou in the first leg, The Reds returned with a 4-0 win at Anfield in the second leg.
"I'm sure people have respected us, but beating Barcelona in the way we did has brought us to the next level," continued Alexander-Arnold.
"We have defeated one of the best teams, if not the best in the world, with a score of 4-0 when we were not at all seeded."
"We have shown world-class levels from our team. If you only consider characters, maybe we are the best in the world. "
Alexander-Arnold believes that the success of getting rid of Barcelona in such a way has made Liverpool a feared team throughout the world.
"We became underdogs in many matches. But we show that we are brave and we are a team to be afraid of. That is important, "said Alexander-Arnold.
"It's important to return to the best team in Europe, and that's what we're trying to achieve - to create a feared team in world football. We are not too far away to make it happen, "he said.
This week, Liverpool will host Wolverhampton in their last match in the Premier League. Liverpool, who are one point behind leaders Manchester City, need to win and hope the rivals slip at home to Brighton.
After that, Liverpool will duel with Tottenham in the final at Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid, on June 1.
