It’s been a difficult week for the football world after the death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, but former Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold was left heartbroken by the passing of his team-mate.
"It’s so difficult to find the right words when your head and heart are struggling to accept that someone you care so much about has gone," Alexander-Arnold posted on Thursday night.
"Diogo, your family was your world. They were everything. For Rute, his children, and his parents, all of our hearts are broken. And for Andre as well. Brothers and best friends."When it’s less painful, I want to remember Diogo with a big smile.
"So many laughs and happy moments. He was such a great teammate and a true friend."Forever number 20. Rest in peace, Diogo."

Real Madrid hit their stride at the Club World Cup on Tuesday, edging Juventus 1-0 to reach the quarter-finals thanks to a second-half strike from academy graduate Gonzalo Garcia as Kylian Mbappe made his tournament debut.
Garcia, deputising for Mbappe after the France forward missed the group stage due to gastroenteritis, found the back of the net early in the second half to set up a meeting with either Borussia Dortmund or Monterrey.
Garcia headed home from Trent Alexander Arnold's pin-point cross in the 54th minute for his third goal in the tournament.

Why Jude Bellingham won’t face brother Jobe in Club World Cup quarter-finals

Jobe Bellingham may want to steer clear of tackling when the clock ticks over to the 28th minute of his next match.
The midfielder was on track to face his brother Jude of Real Madrid in the Club World Cup quarter-finals but after picking up a yellow card in Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 win over Monterrey on Tuesday he will instead be looking on from the sidelines.
That booking, for a foul on Nelson Deossa, was his second of the tournament and arrived in the 28th minute at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
The 19-year-old's first yellow card came in Dortmund's 1-0 group stage win over South Korean side Ulsan HD - also in the 28th minute.
Could Kylian Mbappe return for Real Madrid?

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Kylian Mbappe was edging closer to full fitness ahead of the Club World Cup quarter-finals.
Mbappe made his long-awaited debut in the tournament in the 1-0 win over Juventus as a second-half substitute following a bout of gastroenteritis that sidelined him during the group stage.
Alonso expressed optimism that the France striker would be sharper in time for Saturday's quarter-final clash against Borussia Dortmund
"I think day by day he will get better, and by the time of the quarters he should be in much better shape," Alonso told a press conference. We’ll keep checking in with him every day.”

Real Madrid will be hoping for a repeat of the 2024 Champions League final when they reignite hostilities with Borussia Dortmund in the Club World Cup.
The Galacticos came out 2-0 victors when the two sides met at Wembley last year and go into this quarter-final as favourites off the back of a slender victory over Juventus, which saw Trent Alexander-Arnold register his first assist for his new club.
Dortmund, meanwhile, have revenge on their mind but will need a more convincing performance than the one seen in the round of 16, which saw them edge past Monterrey.
Jobe Bellingham was booked in that game which means he is suspended for the clash, denying him the chance to play against older brother Jude.
