**Liverpool, England** – Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has defended teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold after the right-back was booed by some fans during Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal. Alexander-Arnold, a long-time Liverpool player who announced his departure at the end of the season earlier this week, received a mixed reception upon entering the match as a substitute.
Robertson expressed his disappointment at losing his “best mate” and lauded Alexander-Arnold’s contributions to the team and his impressive legacy at Liverpool, highlighting his numerous trophies and significant moments in the club’s history. While acknowledging the emotional nature of the situation and the fans’ right to express their feelings, Robertson stated it was “not nice” to see his friend booed.
