Liverpool’s What-Could-Have-Been Moment …
Alexis Mac Allister ended the international break with a bang, dazzling for Argentina, and giving Liverpool fans plenty to daydream about! The midfielder hit the back of the net during Argentina’s 4-1 tango over Brazil in Buenos Aires, securing their 2026 World Cup spot. Argentina now leads the pack of eager South American teams, with Liverpool’s Wataru Endo doing the same for Japan. Mac Allister is set to boogie back to Merseyside for next week’s Premier League showdown against Everton, feeling fab and ready to impress.
Just days after a tense tango with Darwin Nunez’s Uruguay, Mac Allister helped Argentina samba past Brazil. Liverpool supporters might’ve noticed their former target Julian Alvarez scoring first, teasing a possible Anfield dance reroute. Off went Mac Allister to restore Argentina’s two-goal groove with a cheeky finish past poor Bento, who stood in for the injured Alisson Becker.
This magic moment left Liverpool fans pondering what jokes the football gods might’ve played if Mac Allister had donned the Reds’ jersey a bit sooner. At the end of 2022, rumors suggested Liverpool was shimmying towards a January swoop for a Fernandez-Mac Allister duo. Alas, fate favored Chelsea’s pennies, and Liverpool could only dream. Now, though, they can cheer Mac Allister, the wildcard who’s back, bringing his magic to the Liverpool dance floor.
