Owen, who left Liverpool for Real Madrid during his career, said on BBC Sport: "For his own people to boo him, it's a big lump in your throat.
"I remember sitting in the players' lounge after playing against Liverpool for Newcastle, parents, myself, all in floods of tears because I'd just been booed by my own people - and I struggle to comprehend it nowadays.
"I'm probably the closest person on the planet who knows exactly what it feels like to be in Trent's shoes now. He'll be mortified."
