The legendary Lionel Messi of Argentina has been likened to Alexis Mac Allister, a midfielder for Liverpool.
But with his national team, GOAL claims it’s a whole other story. Mac Allister receives praise for his performance in Argentina’s 1-0 victory against Paraguay last night, receiving a 7/10 for some “Messi-esque” moments. Since Messi can only play as a substitute, it looks like Alexis has assumed some of the duties once held by the great attacker.
According to reports, Liverpool’s No. 10 was “fantastic” overall and “absolutely dazzled” the Paraguayan box once.
