We know Trent Alexander-Arnold's quality on the ball - he is a phenomenal player.
Real Madrid in the Spanish league will have a lot of possession and Trent will play higher up the pitch.
He will be questioned in this tournament defensively as they come up against stronger opposition. Can he step up?
He said he wanted to go there and win the Ballon d'Or.
That's a big statement in itself.

Real Madrid
Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold, speaking to Channel 5: "After playing a game, it is hard to concentrate that much to speaking Spanish.
"An amazing day to make my debut for Real Madrid. Something almost what every player dreams of. To be able to achieve that is huge for me.
"Some disappointment to not have won the game. It's the mentality you need to have as a Real Madrid player is to want and to expect to win every game you're playing, disappointed to not do that, but a lot of positives, especially in the second half."
On the support: "Incredible. I felt the support from the moment I signed with the club. Sensational.
"The fanbase is truly global all over the world. You feel it every single day.
"A huge thank you for that. We dominated the stands today, which was incredible.
"The support is truly amazing."
On the game: "I think in the second half we kept the ball really well - that is what we lacked maybe first half. In this heat, it is probably best to keep hold of the ball as best as you can and let the other team do all the running.
"We did that in the second half, we made them sit deep.
"We were in and around their box a lot. It just wasn't meant to be.
"We had the penalty late on, but these things happen in football.
"Nobody is to blame, and we take the positives, and we have things we can work on.
"I am sure we will do that going into the next game."
On how long he had been learning Spanish: "Not too long. A couple of months.
"It was something I found very important for me to do.
"It is important to show the intent that I want to embrace the culture, immerse myself in it and adapt as best as possible."

"I think it was a fantastic performance from the team.
"A positive result. We are playing against one of the biggest teams in the world.
"Everyone saw we didn't come here to draw. We came here to win."

Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso, speaking to Channel 5: "I would say the first half was not as good as the second one.

Al-Hilal never panicked. Simone Inzaghi has only been there a week and he has had a great impact.

I am glad a bit of justice was kind of done at the end.
I didn't feel it was a penalty.

Stunning result for Al-Hilal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was withdrawn in the second half on his Real Madrid debut
Real Madrid dramatically had a stoppage-time penalty saved as Trent Alexander-Arnold's debut for the club ended in a hard-fought draw with Al-Hilal in their opening Fifa Club World Cup match in Miami.
Federico Valverde's spot-kick, which was awarded after a video assistant referee (VAR) review, was superbly pushed out by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou after Mohammed Al-Qahtani was penalised when his flaying arm caught Real left-back Fran Garcia
Gonzalo Garcia had opened the scoring for the 15-time European champions shortly after the half-hour mark, with the 21-year-old fortuitously lifting the ball over Bounou at the end of a sweeping counter-attack.
However, at that stage it was completely against the run of play with the Saudi Pro League side creating a flurry of openings early, dominating possession and looking the more assertive.
In Simone Inzaghi's first game as Al-Hilal boss following his departure from Champions League runners-up Inter Milan, his side deservedly levelled four minutes before the break.
Former Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves calmly converted from the penalty spot after Real defender Raul Asencio pulled back Marcos Leonardo in the area.
Substitute Arda Guler cannoned a shot against the crossbar and Gonzalo Garcia had a header brilliantly saved by Bounou as Real stepped things up after the break - against the side they defeated 5-3 in the final of this competition three years ago.
Xabi Alonso, also taking charge of his first game as Real manager since replacing Carlo Ancelotti, was without Kylian Mbappe and his attack missed the Frenchman.
Prior to Valverde's late aberration, Real repeatedly looked vulnerable at the back despite first starts for right-back Alexander-Arnold, who played 65 minutes before being taken off, and £50m Spain centre-back Dean Huijsen.
Had Brazilian forward Leonardo not spurned two excellent second-half chances, the Saudi club could even have been celebrating a famous win.
Prior to the contest all eyes were on Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen, both high-profile additions to Real's backline this summer.
There was also plenty of scrutiny on the technical areas with Alonso taking charge of the Spanish side he represented with such distinction as a midfielder.
Yet Inzaghi will likely be the more satisfied, with his unfancied Al-Hilal side impressing and threatening to deliver a remarkable result even without a prolific marksman of their own, given Aleksandar Mitrovic was ruled out through injury.
The Italian boss has had to shrug off criticism over the controversial manner of his departure from Inter just two weeks ago.
But his players delivered an encouraging display that suggests they have been receptive to his way of working in such limited time.
Alexander-Arnold performed steadily on his first appearance since his move from Liverpool, before being withdrawn midway through the second half.
England international Jude Bellingham's influence also grew as the contest wore on, although Real's main source of danger came from Rodrygo on the right and the willing running of Madrid-born striker Gonzalo Garcia.
However, for long periods Neves, former Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Salem Al-Dawsari impressed to lay a positive platform for Al-Hilal against their illustrious opponents.
After the opportunity to rate players has closed, the score displayed represents the average from all the submissions by BBC Sport users.
Real Madrid next take on Mexican side Pachuca in Group H on Sunday (20:00 BST) in Charlotte, while Al-Hilal face RB Salzburg later the same day (23:00 BST) in Washington DC.
