But just two years after moving to Anfield, Arbeloa joined a transfer to his former club Madrid.

And during his last appearance in Liverpool in a 2-0 win in West Brom, he was involved in a heated row with team-mate Jamie Carragher.

Arbeloa blocked a shot from Marc-Antoine Fortune when the baggies eyed a late reaction, but Carragher seemed less than impressed.

He was frustrated with his positioning when Liverpool held on a clean leaf and later told the overlap: “He went too much forward.”

Carragher and Arbeloa led some of the presses before teammates interfered, the former comparing his passion to Michael Jordan.

The basketball legend was the subject of the Netflix documentary ‘The Last Dance’, to which Carragher was referred to in his recall of history.

“I absolutely loved how intense the guy was because I was with football,” said the Liverpool legend before about Sky Sports.

“He is obviously the best player of all time in basketball, I am not nearby in football. Sometimes he got in back with his teammates because he got so close to the line.

“I’m sure, Graeme [Souness] Can also be resonance with it. If you are so passionate about something, it will push them onto the line and it is difficult not to exceed this line.

“I was on a soccer field and almost hit one of my own teammates or beat Arbeloa.

“I don’t look back at the proud, but at some point or the strange little thing in training would always happen because it was so intense that you wanted to win, everything was important, and sometimes you cross the limit.

“To be criticized for this when he had his career, he brought his team to a place where they had never been before, and broke all types of records in the NBA.”

After Carragher almost came to struggle on the Hawthorns pitch, manager Rafa Benitez was excused by his defender by manager Rafa Benitez.

Just a few weeks later, Arbeloa Liverpool left Madrid in a reported € 4 million to Madrid [£3.4m] transfer.

And it is a step that has certainly paid off when he won a Laliga title and two Champions leagues with his former Academy Club.

Arbeloa was also a two-time Copa del Rey winner and at the same time raised the Supercopa de Espana, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup in a Los Blancos shirt.

The decorated defender only spent one season in East London before retiring and is now a manager of Madrid’s U19 page.
