LIVERPOOL youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold is the best defender in this season's Champions League.
The Reds full-back, 19, was fast-tracked into the first XI only a year ago – and has thrived with Nathaniel Clyne still recovering from a long-term injury.
Alexander-Arnold has shone ever since – but never as brightly as he does in Europe's elite competition.
In fact, based on the most recent power rankings, there is no better defender in the tournament, right now, according to BetStars.
Trent boasts a rating this season of 7.67 after a string of solid defensive performances – and even a pair of goals.
As well as his stunning free-kick strike in the 2-1 playoff win away to Hoffenheim, the teenager scored in the 7-0 drubbing over Maribor in Slovenia in October.
He sits marginally ahead of Manchester United stopper David De Gea, with three Man City defenders also in the top ten.
Kyle Walker, Ederson and Nicolas Otamendi all rank highly, but it's Liverpool who rake in the rewards on the attacking front.
