As Trent Alexander-Arnold filled out a bracket with 16 football talents competing for the top slot in the game, he was faced with a number of difficult choices. The tournament, which was posted on JD Sports’ TikTоk channel, presented tough decisions like picking Harry Kane or Mohamed Salah, or going with Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Although Salah defeated Kane in a fiercely contested match, he did not place well overall.

Strong players like Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Salah, and Samuel Eto’o faced off in the bracket’s quarterfinals, but Benzema, Robert Lewandowski, Thierry Henry, and Messi persevered. After these matches produced a showdown between the finalists, Messi emerged victorious—a choice that was evocative of Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher’s support for Messi over Ronaldo in a debate of a similar nature last November.

Alexander-Arnold’s experience in the bracket took place in the midst of Liverpool’s recent struggles, which included Salah’s ιnjury comeback against Brentford, where he scored a goal and provided an assist. However, he later suffered another setback that kept him out of the Luton Town game.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexander-Arnold did not play in the midweek match, and it is unclear if they will be available for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final. Despite these obstacles, Liverpool showed their tenacity by defeating Luton Town 4-1, even though their starting lineup and bench were improvised..
