Alexander-Arnold: “The atmosphere is always very good there”

As one of Liverpool’s key players, Alexander-Arnold has experienced the fierce competition between the clubs, even silencing the Etihad crowd last season with a late equalizer.

The defender said Aerial sports“A lot of people talk about the atmosphere at Man City and, hand on heart, when we play them, the atmosphere is incredible… It’s intense. The atmosphere there is always very good.

Known for its high stakes and adrenaline-fueled moments, Liverpool versus Manchester City has become one of the most watched rivalries in English football. Over the past decade, these two powerhouses have clashed for several titles, creating unforgettable moments and iconic celebrations.

Reflecting on his favorite away stadium, Alexander-Arnold chose the Etihad: “Every time we play each other it feels like the whole world is watching us. It’s almost like the English version of El Clasico.

As Liverpool prepare for another high-profile match, this time against Arsenal, Alexander-Arnold will aim to recreate those great moments.

With Arsenal missing key players like Martin Odegaard and William Saliba, Liverpool see an opportunity to capitalize and continue their run to the top of the Premier League table.

The upcoming match promises even more drama as Liverpool look to assert their strength and widen the gap at the top of the table, echoing the intensity that Alexander-Arnold so strongly associates with his experiences at the Etihad.
