Thibaut Courtois has some kind words for teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold as he recalls the moments when he left Chelsea. Trent’s departure has divided the Liverpool fanbase ever since the transfer rumors began. The Real Madrid midfielder recently made his return to Anfield when his new team faced his former team in an away match. The homecoming was not as expected as the player had to face heavy booes during his side’s loss to Merseyside.
Courtois hopes Liverpool fans can forgive Real Madrid teammate Trent; recalls Chelsea exit
The Real Madrid goalkeeper reacted to the reception Trent got following his return to his former home ground, which was not pleasing. However, he also stated that the fans have the right to express their feelings, as he recalled his Chelsea exit. During his conversation with Andy Kerr TV, the Los Blancos star said:
"I had it when I left Chelsea. But it's not the same, he's a kid from Liverpool. It's a pity.”
The 33-year-old, speaking of fans, further said:
“Obviously, I'm not judging the fans; they're entitled to their own opinion. But he's a young kid who played all his career with Liverpool, and we only have one career, and we all have dreams.”
The former Chelsea player and La Liga goalkeeper believes that fans can forgive Trent and give him the tribute he deserves as he begins his new journey and new challenge in Spain. Courtois, as per the aforementioned source, said:
"I hope that the fans can forgive him in the longer term, and eventually he can come back, and they'll honour him for all the trophies he won."

Courtois faced similar challenges when he joined the Spanish giants from the Blues in June 2018. Meanwhile, Trent came to the 15-time Champions League winners in 2023 ahead of the Club World Cup. The right-back has recently returned from a hamstring injury, following which he was sidelined for seven games. Trent has appeared in 354 games for the Reds.
