RB Leipzig fullback Angelino insists Alexander-Arnold Liverpool's weak link

RB Leipzig fullback Angelino insists Trent Alexander-Arnold is Liverpool's weak link.

Leipzig will look to exploit the space in behind him during their Champions League clash on Wednesday, insists Angelino.

"It was tough because I thought we played a really good match," he said while reflecting on the first leg, which RBL lost 2-0.

"We were a few times behind their full backs. [Trent] Alexander-Arnold on the ball is unbelievable but he is too offensive.

"But that is his best [quality] so we have to exploit the weakness and hopefully we can get a few more chances like we did in the first game. That was our mistake that we did not put them away.

"We could have put some pressure on them [by] scoring some of the chances we got. We felt we gave them two mistakes and a team like Liverpool, with the quality they have got, they kill you if you give them just a little bit.

"But we are positive because we played a strong match. If we don't make mistakes and we put our chances away, it can turn around, the situation."
