Real Madrid have signed one of the best right-backs in world football. After months of rumors, it was finally revealed a few weeks ago that an agreement had been reached with Trent Alexander-Arnold to join the biggest club in the world on a free transfer - and he will play the Club World Cup.
It was a transfer that was expected - but it sent shockwaves through the football world anyway, because of Real Madrid's ability to get the best players in the world to sign for them for no transfer fee.
On Thursday, Trent - as he now likes to be called - was presented to the club in a beautiful ceremony, and it had a few events that actually made no sense to the people watching - in a brilliant way.
What Trent Alexander-Arnold did at his Real Madrid presentation was perfect
Real Madrid announced his signing, and after Florentino Perez's speech, it was time for Trent to speak.
Everyone expected him to talk in English - similar to what Jude Bellingham did when he first joined, or anyone from a country that does not speak Spanish does. They talk in their own language, or in English.
Trent went on stage, and spoke perfect Spanish for a good minute. That showed that he wanted this move more than anything else. He wanted this, and worked for it to make the fans happy right from the get-go.
Those are small things in the public eye, but to a Real Madrid fan, that is huge. It is something not many people take the time out to do to be ready for a move like that, and it showed intent on Trent's part.
He wanted to impress the fans. He wanted to impress the people present at the ceremony - which they were - and he wanted to be prepared for the biggest move of his life. It felt good to see someone care about the club I adore as much as he did, and he is already in my good books.
