Trent Alexander-Arnold has come of age this season while playing for Liverpool, particularly in the Champions League.

The 19-year-old was given the task of keeping Leroy Sane quiet during the Reds’ quarter-final showdown against Manchester City.

The England Under-21 international did so, and made it look easy, but the youngster was given a reality check on Wednesday night against Roma.

After being part of a scintillating 5-2 victory in the first leg of the semi-final at Anfield, Alexander-Arnold was left exposed numerous times at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Liverpool-born player had little protection down the right-hand side and he struggled to cope, making a few blunders as a result.

Jurgen Klopp’s side progressed to the final despite losing 4-2 on the night, and now attention has turned to team selection for the showpiece against Real Madrid in Kiev.

For the most part, the first XI picks itself, but after Alexander-Arnold’s inexperience got the better of him in Rome, perhaps Klopp should consider turning to Nathaniel Clyne.

The 27-year-old has spent the majority of the campaign on the sidelines with injury having started just one Premier League game.

In fact, Clyne has made just four appearances in all competitions, and on that basis alone it would raise eyebrows if he were to oust Alexander-Arnold.

However, one could argue that throwing the teenager into a game of this magnitude against world-class talent that Madrid possess would be a risk.

With all that in mind, who should Klopp name as right-back in the club’s biggest game of the season?
