Ask any Liverpool fan, and they will tell you that Trent Alexander-Arnold is the best right-back in the world.

Ask Gary Lineker, and he will (probably) tell you that Trent Alexander-Arnold is the best right-back in the world.

Ask Don Hutchison, and he will certainly tell you that Trent Alexander-Arnold is the best right-back in the world.

Ask Cafu, and he will tell you that Trent Alexander-Arnold is NOT the best right-back in the world.

Cafu’s verdict

In an interview with Marca, Brazil, AS Roma and AC Milan legend Cafu has named Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi and Dani Carvajal of Real Madrid as the two best right-backs on the planet.

Cafu told Marca when asked who the best right-back is now: “I really like Achraf, from PSG, and Carvajal. Dani seems very good to me.”

What about Trent Alexander-Arnold?

Now, as you can see from Cafu’s answer above, the Champions League and World Cup winner actually does not mention Alexander-Arnold by name.

But, we still thought to bring you his comments.

After all, Cafu is one of the best right-backs of all time.

Some would even say that Cafu is the greatest right-back the world has ever seen.

And he can only get better.

After all, the Liverpool academy graduate is only 23.
