The 25-year-old England international, who has been with the Reds since he was a youth player, broke down in tears surrounded by his family. He also kissed the Liverpool badge, a poignant moment that highlighted his affection for the club.
According to reports, Alexander-Arnold expressed his gratitude to the fans, stating that he hoped they would one day recognise his contributions to the team.
