Awaiting Vinicius Vs Alexander-Arnold Duel

Jakarta –

Final Liga Champions will present a duel Vinicius Jr with Trent Alexander-Arnold. Will Vinicius again be difficult to suppress by Alexander-Arnold?

The 2021/2022 Champions League Final brings Liverpool vs Real Madrid at the Stade de France, Paris, Sunday (29/5/2022) early morning WIB. Both teams rely on the wings as their strength.

One of the interesting duels on the flanks that will be presented in this match is the head to head between Vinicius Jr and Trent Alexander-Arnold. The duel of these two players on the field seems inevitable.

Vinicius often operates on the left side of Madrid’s attack. Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold’s role is almost irreplaceable at Liverpool’s right-back position.

Alexander-Arnold will carry a heavy weight to be able to reduce Vinicus in the final match later. The speed of the Brazilian wing is often the focus of Los Blancos in launching attacks.

Vinicius has an ability that is equally good at stabbing or spoiling the spearhead of Madrid, Karim Benzema. Evidently, this 21-year-old player has packed 20 goals and 21 assists from 50 matches in all competitions this season.

Madrid could continue to attack Alexander-Arnold’s side because the English defender doesn’t have a good 1 vs 1 ability. This ability is precisely the advantage of Vinicius.

Trent Alexander-Arnold does have a very extraordinary build-up ability. He can pack 19 assists in all competitions this season.

However, his awareness in defending that is not good enough is often Liverpool’s weak point. This is reflected in Alexander-Arnold’s average intercept and sweep of only 0.9 per game in the Champions League according to data WhoScored.

Alexander-Arnold clearly has to improve his defensive record in the final match later. Moreover, he has bad memories of being bullied by Vinicius when Liverpool lost 1-3 to Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarter-finals Liga Champions last season.

Vinicius made two goals in this match. Madrid could get rid of the Reds with a 3-1 aggregate advantage after the second leg at Anfield drew 0-0.
