Liverpool midfielder Alexis McAllister has admitted that he currently considers Spain ahead of Argentina, just weeks before the finals and the next World Cup.
talking to terms and conditions In Argentina, the 27-year-old was asked about the clash with Spain at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar on March 27. The match will pit the Copa America winners against the reigning European champions.
Despite Argentina being the reigning world champions, Liverpool players have not shied away from praising their opponents. “Today, I see Spain above us,” McAllister said while assessing the balance of power.
Spain come in as Euro winners and are in strong form, according to the midfielder. In his view, this makes them serious contenders not only for the Finalsima but also for the World Cup.
Liverpool player chose Spain and France as his favorite
McAllister went even further when discussing the broader international picture. He placed Spain and France at the top of the global hierarchy, while supporting Argentina to compete at the highest level.
“I think Spain and France are the two best teams and we are there too.” he explained.
France, under Kylian Mbappe, continues to pose a threat in major tournaments. Meanwhile, Spain’s recent resurgence under Luis de la Fuente has strengthened his credentials.
Focusing specifically on the Finalsima, the Liverpool midfielder predicted a tough competition.
“They have very good players, they are in a very good moment, and the finalsima will be complex. We believe and we will move forward,” He added.
Key to club and country
For Liverpool, McAllister’s comments underline the level at which their midfielder is operating. He is not only a key figure at Anfield but also central to Argentina’s plans at major tournaments.
However, the March international break would once again see him travel long distances before returning to club duties. With the Premier League typically being an intense race, Arne Slott will be hoping his player comes back sharp and injury free.
Additionally, McAllister’s calm and analytical tone reflects the mentality that Liverpool fans have come to appreciate. There is no complacency despite Argentina being world champions. Instead, there is clarity and competitive edge.
If Spain and France are indeed the benchmark, the Liverpool midfielder is putting himself – and his country – right in the middle of the conversation among the global elite.
