As well as being one of the most recognisable faces in the UK music scene, rapper Stormzy is also a big football fan.

Famously a supporter of Liverpool’s biggest rivals Manchester United though, the 30-year-old does not hold much love for the Reds.

Nevertheless, Stormzy obviously knows a good footballer when he sees one, having been speaking about Trent Alexander-Arnold in a recent attempt at the crossbar challenge.

Alexander-Arnold went viral in 2022 for a brilliant, one-time effort at the challenge in a video with YouTube channel Beta Squad.

And now attempting his own version of it, Stormzy has called out Liverpool’s No.66.

What has Stormzy said about Trent Alexander-Arnold

As one of the purest strikers of a football of the past few decades, few can match Alexander-Arnold when it comes to pinging balls at targets.

Whether it’s stunning long-range passes to pick out teammates or exquisite free-kicks to find the top corner, Trent can do it all.

So, when Stormzy rocked up with a crossbar challenge effort in a series of videos posted by GRM Daily on X, it was always going to be difficult to match the 25-year-old. Nevertheless, the rapper did his best.

“Man’s seen that clip of Trent with Beta Squad, where he just says ‘first time’… This is that, watch this,” says Stormzy, before launching a terrible, lofted effort miles past the goal.

Not to be deterred, he came back with another go, calling out Alexander-Arnold a second time. “I’ve seen that clip Trent, watch this!” says Stormzy. Unfortunately, the second effort is just as bad as the first, floating harmlessly over the bar.

Finally, with a point to prove, Stormzy has one last go at emulating the Liverpool right-back. “Man think ‘ah Trent, you’re so good, ah Kevin De Bruyne, ah Lionel Messi,” yeah, yeah yeah,” he remarks, seconds before sending another poor shot sailing over the crossbar.

Has Trent responded to Stormzy

As a hugely popular artist, it surely won’t be long before Stormzy’s words make their way back to Alexander-Arnold.

The Scouser will no doubt have himself a chuckle when he sees the clips though. The rapper should possibly stick to his day job.

As of yet, Alexander-Arnold has not responded to Stormzy, at least not publicly. Maybe we’ll see the two go head-to-head in a rap-battle style crossbar challenge. After watching the quality on show in these clips, we’d pay to see that.

We know who our money would be on to come out on top!
