Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold said that his career's main goal was to be the first full-back to win the Ballon d'Or. He wants to be remembered as the greatest right-back of all time.
The 26-year-old said he preferred to claim the prestigious individual award rather than captain Liverpool.
"A person who changed the game, that's the main thing I have. So, yeah, I just want a legacy as the greatest right-back ever playing football, to be honest."
"I know there are a lot out there, but you know, I have to win stars. That's where I believe in the limits of my abilities," Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports.
In fact, the England international said the Ballon d'Or would be more important than winning trophies with the Three Lions.

"I want to be the first full-back to ever do it. I said it in an interview with England, only in the morning after you retire. You can look into the mirror and say that I have given everything I have."
"It doesn't matter how many trophies you win, or how many medals you have. The important thing is what you give to the game and whether you reach your full potential."
"I've heard that potential since I was six years old. If you reach that potential, you've given everything to maximize that potential.
Being a player you can be, one of the best you've ever been, then you'll be happy, no matter how many trophies you win."
"Some people may think I'mUNk, but I'm sure I can," said the right-back.
Apart from that, Alexander-Arnold has been linked with Real Madrid because his contract expires at Anfield later this season.
The rumor cannot be separated from Dani Carvajal's long injury. However, until now Alexander-Arnold has not divulged his future.
The Ballon d'Or award will be held in Paris on October 29, 2024 local time.
Madrid winger Vinicius Junior is arguably a favorite for the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner. In addition, there is also Manchester City midfielder Rodri.
