Alexis Mac Allister Admits He Misjudged Liverpool Teammate Alisson đ˛đĽ
The Argentine midfielder, who joined Liverpool in 2023 and played a key role in last seasonâs Premier League triumph, confessed that during his Brighton days he wasnât fully convinced by the Brazilian shot-stopperâs reputation.
According to ESPN UK, Mac Allister joked:
đ âBack at Brighton, I didnât get what the hype was about. I didnât really rate you. But now⌠damn! I have to admit, youâre the best. Well, you, Dibu [Emiliano MartĂnez], and Courtois.â
The Liverpool No.10 added with a smile that heâs still waiting on an invitation to Alissonâs famous BBQs â a promise his teammate has yet to deliver on.
For many, itâs surprising to hear such honesty, especially considering Alisson has been widely regarded as one of the worldâs top keepers since arriving from Roma in 2018. Heâs transformed Liverpoolâs goalkeeping department, solved a long-term problem position, and even pulled off clever moments â like his subtle instructions during Dominik Szoboszlaiâs 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 â and Liverpool fans would hardly disagree.
