Lots of stars! Morientes believes Trent will never get the Ballon d’Or even if he goes to Madrid messi1688

messi1688 Spanish legend Fernando Morientes believes that even if Trent Alexander-Arnold joins Real Madrid, it will be difficult to win the Ballon d’Or.

The England international has announced he will leave Liverpool when his contract with the club expires at the end of the season, with Real Madrid the likely destination for the new Xabi Alonso era. messi1688

Trent has once spoken of his ultimate dream of winning the Ballon d’Or at some point in his career, although it is a difficult feat for a defender to achieve, with no one having done so since Fabio Cannavaro after winning the 2006 World Cup.

“From what I know about the history of the Ballon d’Or, I see it as very complicated,” Morientes said.

“If Trent Alexander-Arnold has an incredible season in all aspects, that means he helps a lot in attack, he scores a lot of goals, but if he scores a lot of goals, Kylian Mbappe will score a lot of goals, Jude Bellingham will score a lot of goals, Vinicius will score a lot of goals.

“For me, it seems like the Ballon d’Or is destined for midfielders and attackers. It’s very difficult to see a defender or a goalkeeper winning it. Sure, Fabio Cannavaro comes up and some others, but the rest are goal-scoring midfielders and forwards or really great players.” ( messi1688 )
