Trent Alexander-Arnold does not think there is any better way for Liverpool to get over their Premier League heartache than playing in the Champions League final.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have already won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup this season. They beat Chelsea on penalties in both finals.
An unprecedented Quadruple was on the cards, but they were a point behind Man City heading into the final day.
Real Madrid are having a mixed week of CL mind games against Liverpool
Aston Villa’s shock two-goal lead at the Etihad Stadium brought hope of an incredible title win to Anfield, only for a jaw-dropping City turnaround to see the Reds finish as runners-up despite their win against Wolves.
It was a gut punch that Alexander-Arnold insists will have no impact on Saturday evening’s shot at Champions League glory against Real Madrid in Paris.
“We put that behind us,” the right-back said. “I think we have the experience this season to focus on the competition that we have ahead of us.
“We played in all four competitions and got all the way in all of them.
“For us, we found it useful to forget about the other competitions and focus on the one that you’re playing in.
“Obviously this one is the Champions League final. Whatever’s happened before (has happened).
“Last week, yeah, was disappointing. It was hard to take at the time, but you put that behind you.
“It takes a day or two to get over and then you’ve got a Champions League final to prepare for.
“What better way to get over a bit of disappointment then to come here to Paris, an amazing venue, and play in the best club competition in the world.”
