· Sports · BBC Sport
Jose Mourinho deployed Trent Alexander-Arnold in the midfield during Real Madrid's 2-1 Champions League victory over Inter Milan. The move was tactical due to suspensions affecting Eduardo Camavinga, Arda G, and Bernardo Silva. While Alexander-Arnold created two chances and attempted more crosses than any other player, his passing accuracy stood at 83.3% and he failed to win a tackle.
