Well, if you did have to pick one club that was the biggest and best in the world, you'd probably say Real. But it's just standard "was a childhood fan" stuff that always gets said at these things.

I don't think any professional is a true "fan" though. Never. It's their career. It's not standing with your mates on the Kop.

Correct. Historically and even today without question the biggest club in the world. Thats an impartial fact.

My son was telling me that after TAA's impressive performance of Spanish during the press conference some wag commented 'Bellingham pressed the button on his back to put him in Spanish mode. He'll be doing the Flamengo next.'

With that press conference Trent has mugged off all his LFC critics in an epic manner.
All those who booed, rang up radio phone-ins, left spikey messages on social media have been 'pied off' in the language of Love Island.

Now, today, comes the news that Liv are on the verge of smashing the British Transfer Record for purchases with FLorian Wirtz.
So all that self righteous moaning about the spending of City and Chelsea has been contradicted in one instant..

Liv like to pretend they are a special football club.
Booing their own players and splashing cash like drunken sailors. No different to the rest of us. Sorry.

I wish the lad the best of fortune.  He has never done anything but his very best for Liverpool and they should be grateful to him.
Must leave the reds with a significant issue to deal with because Robertson’s form has gone south for me and replacing two talented, attacking, productive full backs will not be easy.

Class act Trent.

So refreshing to see an English player reaching out to the bigger world, most of them are spoilt for life by the time they reach 21.

And of course Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. It's not even a debate, except with Barcelona fans.

No way should he have said that, he obviously wants to get off on the rght foot and is desperate to ingratiate himself with the fans but he could have said any manner of things that would have achieved all of that without saying those words.

No thought whatsoever about the day some time in the future when it's all over when it will be the Liverpool fans hearts that he'd want to be held in and not the Madrid ones....naive in the extreme IMO.

Let's see how he feels if it doesn't go well, he can ask Bale all about that and he won them a CL.

He's burnt his bridges with past, but increased his popularity
in new life.

Can't be undone.

Likely he is unable to defend his actions, when he thinks about it in years to come.

I find it amazing that folks find his comments offensive. He's just signed for Real Madrid, of course he's going to say he's signed for the biggest club in the world.

Player's agent and new club management agreee text of new player's first comments.
Fans at new club delighted with new player's loyalty to new club.
New club's merchandise sales accelerate into orbit.
Half transfer fee recouped by heartfelt comments by new player.

Allegedly.
If Liverpool fans are serious in disputing the fact that Real Madrid are, and since the inception of the European Cup in the sixties have been, a bigger club than theirs then they need to get real.  No pun intended.  What Liverpool have achieved in Europe is brilliant and they should be rightly proud but they will never be a “bigger” club than Real.

never say never LH.. RM are of course funded and continually bailed out finanacially by the city of Madrid and therefore have always had an edge in that area.

I can understand that.  They do have that I agree which gives them a huge advantage.  But money now does throughout football, through every level, which is my point really.
I was brought up on a diet of Liverpool, Shankly, Paisley and all of that brilliance, recently emulated by Klopp etc;
Unforgettable stuff but in terms of something I can’t really explain Real are at the top of the pyramid for me.

He isn’t anywhere near being the best right back in the world mind.
By:

When: 16 Jun 25 14:40
It is, as ever, all about opinions.  I don’t know all of the right backs in the world, but I know the English ones, and he certainly has for me always been better than Walker.
Lazy is what Roy Keane called him which hit the nail on the head as far as am concerned.
