James Maddison, a Liverpool player, was made fun of in a photo that the Tottenham star tweeted, and Trent Alexander-Arnold has responded back.
Maddison attacked Liverpool’s request to relive their 2-1 loss to Spurs on Monday after Luis Diaz’s goal was mistakenly disallowed for offside.
“I’m still asking for a replay,” Maddison wrote as the caption for the pair’s photo.
James Trent Maddison
Still resentful of what had happened, Liverpool supporters decided to exact revenge. They released a video on EA Sports FC where Alexander-Arnold criticises his England teammate’s abilities—or lack thereof.
Maddison can be seen calling out the Reds defence while playing the “pass the phone game” in a video that was uploaded on Sports Direct Football’s TikTok account.
“I’m handing the phone over to someone who I used to really smack about on FIFA with the England Under-21s,” he declared.
In the video below, Alexander-Arnold can be heard responding to the tape, saying, “Madders is c**p on FIFA,” before adding he had a cringeworthy picture of the Spurs player.
“I’ll obtain a video.” He’s on his knees apologising to me for challenging me.
I’m positive I have it. He said, “Let me see if I can get the vid,” and then showed the amusing picture of Maddison knelt.

The visual assistant referee (VAR) informed referee Simon Hooper that the check was finished and the on-field decision should not be changed, even though replays indicated that Diaz was onside.
Following the event, Jurgen Klopp requested at a press conference that the game be replayed; however, his request was denied.
Safe to say it’s now 1-1.
