VIDEO: Trent gets away with one! Ex-Liverpool star Alexander-Arnold sees Real Madrid debut mistake go unpunished as Al-Hilal goal is ruled out in Club World Cup opener

Real Madrid

<p>The ex-Liverpool full-back made his much-awaited Madrid debut on Wednesday in the Club World Cup as the Spanish giants squared off against Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. In the 19th minute of the game, Al-Hilal got their first major chance to break the deadlock as Alexander-Arnold gave the ball away and Renan Lodi found himself inside the Madrid box to find the back of the net. Lodi entered the box unmarked as Alexander-Arnold was caught napping, but fortunately for the Englishman, the goal was disallowed for offside.</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>
