Alexis Mac Allister carried his good form for Liverpool to the Argentine national team as he helped his nation to a 3-0 win in World Cup qualifiers.
The 25-year-old’s stellar performance for La Albiceleste comes on the back of a solid start to his season at Liverpool.
Under Arne Slot, he has been ever-present in the Reds’ midfield, starting in all of their Premier League games thus far.
His versatility and ability to dictate play have made him an essential part of Liverpool’s tactical setup, contributing both defensively and offensively.
Mac Allister has maintained his form and built on his excellent performances from the previous season.
Despite the tactical changes introduced under Slot, Mac Allister has adapted well, showing his ability to control games from deeper midfield positions, while still providing a crucial link between defense and attack.
However, his influence has not been limited to club football.
Argentina media react to Alexis Mac Allister display vs Chile
Mac Allister once again shone on the international stage, playing a pivotal role in Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Chile in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers last night.
In a match where Argentina dominated possession but initially struggled to break down a resilient Chilean defense, it was Mac Allister who finally broke the deadlock.
Just minutes into the second half, he connected with a cross from Julian Alvarez, latching onto a brilliant dummy from Lautaro Martinez to slot the ball into the back of the net?
His goal set the tone for a dominant second-half display, with Argentina adding two more goals courtesy of Alvarez and Paulo Dybala?.
Argentina outlet TyC Sports gave the 25-year-old 7/10 for his overall game and wrote:
“Better when he was released [to attack].
He opened the game by stepping into the area determined and defining with a shot into the net against Arias’ leg.”
Meanwhile Olè gave the Liverpool man a 7.5 and wrote:
“Perfect definition of arriving [in the box] as a surprise nine.
He came out of it touched.”
Mac Allister’s performance highlighted his ability to contribute in crucial moments, and his role in midfield was instrumental in keeping Argentina’s momentum throughout the game.
Argentina will face Colombia this coming Tuesday in another World Cup qualifier, with Mac Allister set to play against another Liverpool man in Luis Diaz.
