Huijsen’s unexpected comment to Alexander-Arnold goes viral: ‘Shut your…’

Light-hearted Instagram comment highlights the strong chemistry growing inside Real Madrid’s revamped squad

Real Madrid fans have been treated to more than just goals and wins lately—the locker room camaraderie is also becoming a major talking point. A recent example came when Dean Huijsen cheekily commented on an Instagram post by new teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold following Real Madrid’s 3–1 win over CF Pachuca.

Under a photo of Alexander-Arnold celebrating the team’s second goal, Huijsen left a brief but blunt comment: “Shut your mouth.” The post quickly went viral, but fans recognized it for what it was—friendly banter that reflects the positive atmosphere within the squad.

Victory After a Rocky Start

Real Madrid entered the match against Pachuca under pressure after drawing 1–1 in their opening Club World Cup match against Al Hilal. Things didn’t start well either—Raúl Asencio was sent off in the 7th minute after another costly error, his second in as many games.

Despite the setback, Xabi Alonso’s men responded brilliantly. The team rallied to a commanding 3–0 lead, effectively sealing the win and showcasing a united, disciplined side that looked much more convincing than in their opening game.

Huijsen Impresses Again

Dean Huijsen stood out once more. At just 20 years old, the center-back has adapted remarkably quickly to life at Real Madrid, displaying poise, maturity, and elite ball distribution. His performances suggest that he could become a key figure in the team’s defense for years to come.

Alexander-Arnold Still Settling In

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold has had a more modest start to his Madrid career. Though he provided a quality assist for Arda Güler’s goal against Pachuca, the English right-back is still working his way toward peak form.

Xabi Alonso is gradually integrating him into his tactical setup, and while Alexander-Arnold’s full potential hasn’t been unleashed yet, his attacking prowess promises to be a major asset for Los Blancos going forward. With time, he’s expected to form a world-class right-back pairing alongside Dani Carvajal.

All signs point to a promising future for this newly reinforced Madrid side—both on and off the pitch.
