Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold valued the experience of taking on Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery this summer.

He showcased his immense potential in last week's 3-0 Audi Cup triumph over Bayern when he was up against a Champions League winner in Ribery.

“It was obviously going to a tough task for me going up against a world class player and one of the best in the world," he told the Liverpool Echo.

“You just have to see it as a chance and that is what I do every time the manager picks me to go on the pitch. I just have to show why I deserve that chance. I tried to do that against Bayern.

“The whole game was tough for all of us. They are excellent. We've been trying to put into practice all the things we've been doing in training and particularly against Bayern you could see from our attacking play that there are a lot of exciting things to come."

Alexander-Arnold opted against seeking out the Frenchman for a memento of the occasion.

“No, I did not think about getting a souvenir or anything," he said.

“I just went straight into the changing room because that is what I am used to doing. I try not to pay too much respect to the players I am playing against. I think that is what can affect you. You have to go out there and focus on yourself and not who you are up against."
