  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Alexander-Arnold has joined Madrid from Liverpool and will have to quickly get used to life in a different league and a different country. He will also have to get used to driving a different car as his £130,000 Land Rover will be banned from the club's training ground due to the club's sponsorship deal with BMW, according to El Motor.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  As part of Real Madrid's agreement with BMW all first-team players for Madrid's football and basketball teams are gifted a new car. Alexander-Arnold will also be able to take his pick which should soften the blow of not being able to use his Land Rover for the commute. The England star will also have to choose from BMW's electric range as part of the agreement with the German manufacturer.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Alexander-Arnold's England team-mate Jude Bellingham opted for the BMW XM when picking his new car. Kylian Mbappe chose the same model but went for white instead of black.
