Does an 'after [enemy] attacks you' trigger fire when an ally defends the attack?

The official Rules Reference states this directly, and forum discussion agrees.

Yes. For "after [enemy] attacks you" abilities, "you" is the attacked player even if an ally defended, so the trigger still happens. Triggers that need your identity to take damage do not fire when an ally absorbs the hit.
