Chance sometimes does things very well. This is what the Mac Allister brothers, Alexis (24 years old) and Kevin (25 years old), must be saying to each other, who will meet this Thursday evening at Anfield during Liverpool – Union. The probability of this duel between brothers was even lower as the two players still belonged to another club last season, respectively to Brighton and Argentinos Juniors. But the movements of the transfer window and the Europa League draw did the rest, Kevin learning the good news from the plane which brought the Union back from Switzerland after their qualification against Lugano. “See you soon, my brother,” he said with a smile after bursting with joy at the announcement of the future European opponents.
Nothing is impossible but…
Thursday evening, in the Anfield den, a spectator will carefully observe the handshake between the two brothers who were teammates in Argentina in the past: Carlos Mac Allister, the patriarch who will make the trip for this historic family moment. “It was not possible for the whole family to come, but I will be there with my partner,” says the man who played in the past with Diego Maradona in the Argentine selection. We were all very happy to know that Kevin and Alexis were going to meet on the field even if it was as rivals. When the news broke, the family WhatsApp group exploded… I don’t know if I will shed a tear when they take the field together, but it’s entirely possible (smile).”

“When the news broke, the family’s WhatsApp group blew up.”
Sportingly, the task promises to be difficult, if not impossible, for the Union given the prestige of its opponent. A team which remained on seven victories in a row this season before the defeat in the last moments of the game against Tottenham, nine against eleven, this weekend. “The Union plays a very good game and nothing is impossible in football,” analyzes Carlos Mac Allister, who was present in Brussels when Kevin signed for the Union this summer. But Liverpool have a lot of world stars who are all over the pitch. I’m not going to give them advice, that’s the job of their respective coaches. Above all, I hope they enjoy being able to play against each other.”
