Alexis Mac Allister Admits He Misjudged Liverpool Teammate Alisson 😲🔥
The Argentine midfielder, who joined Liverpool in 2023 and played a key role in last season’s Premier League triumph, confessed that during his Brighton days he wasn’t fully convinced by the Brazilian shot-stopper’s reputation.
According to ESPN UK, Mac Allister joked:
👉 “Back at Brighton, I didn’t get what the hype was about. I didn’t really rate you. But now… damn! I have to admit, you’re the best. Well, you, Dibu [Emiliano Martínez], and Courtois.”
The Liverpool No.10 added with a smile that he’s still waiting on an invitation to Alisson’s famous BBQs — a promise his teammate has yet to deliver on.
For many, it’s surprising to hear such honesty, especially considering Alisson has been widely regarded as one of the world’s top keepers since arriving from Roma in 2018. He’s transformed Liverpool’s goalkeeping department, solved a long-term problem position, and even pulled off clever moments — like his subtle instructions during Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning free kick against Arsenal last week.
While Mac Allister may have been sceptical at first, two years of training and playing alongside Alisson have changed his perspective completely. Today, he ranks the Brazilian among the very best in world football — and Liverpool fans would hardly disagree.
