At the end of the storm, Trent Alexander-Arnold found his golden sky. For three weeks, he had walked alone, since announcing he would be leaving Liverpool when his contract expires this summer, but in the end the backlash gave way to something like the perfect send-off. It was, he said, the best day of his life.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was cheered by a celebratory Anfield on his final Liverpool appearance on Sunday, with the player dubbed "the Scouser in our team" bowing out in tears after two decades at his boyhood club.

An emotional Trent Alexander-Arnold said that he had "never felt so loved and so cared for than today" as he celebrated Liverpool's Premier League title.
