Liverpool FC star Trent Alexander-Arnold surprises life-long red and our founder Imad Ali.THEN IT’S TIME TO EXECUTE
NIVEA MEN's "Dear Liverpool" series saw Trent surprise Imad. We then invited The Anfield Wrap down to find out what it means to compete for your nation, what difference NIVEA MEN's support made to the running of the event, and of course who went on to win it!
