Alexander-Arnold starts in midfield as Real Madrid open Champions League with 2-1 win over Inter

Trent Alexander-Arnold made his first competitive start in midfield for Real Madrid in their 2-1 Champions League win over Inter at the Bernabéu on September 8. Suspensions to Eduardo Camavinga and Arda Guler — sent off in last season's semi-final defeat to Bayern Munich — left José Mourinho short of options. Alexander-Arnold created two chances, attempted more crosses than any teammate, but won no tackles. The Bernabéu whistled when he was substituted after Inter's 77th-minute consolation.
