Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold revealed Lionel Messi is the “toughest player” he has “ever faced”.



The Reds star was honoured with a Guinness World Record this week.



Alexander-Arnold achieved 12 assists the Premier League last season, breaking the previous record of 11.



But his most famous assist came in the Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona.

The Englishman played a quick corner to Divock Origi for the winning goal, sending them to a winning final.



He denied Messi adding to his brace in the first leg.



But Alexander-Anold made an admission about the Barcelona hero to Stadium Astro .



In the clip, host Adam Carruthers asks the 21-year-old who the toughest player is he has faced.



After a brief pause, the Reds star replies: “Messi.”

The host then asks if there is one thing difficult about facing the five-time Ballon D’Or winner.



But Alexander-Arnold smiles to himself before explaining his reasons.



“There’s not one thing,” the 21-year-old says.

“He can do everything.

“He does everything.

“But he does it better than everyone else.”

Alexander-Arnold is expected to be part of the side facing Manchester United on Sunday.



Jurgen Klopp will hope his side can keep up their 100 per cent start to the campaign.



The full-back could be joined by goalkeeper Alisson , returning from injury.



It comes as the Reds’ likely line-up has been revealed.
