The player of Union Saint-Gillis, the Belgian champion who defeated PSV in the Champions League, has received a call for the first time from the Argentine national coach Lionel Scaloni. Argentina will play a friendly match against Angola on Friday. The 28-year-old midfielder is visibly emotional when he breaks the news to his teammates in the Union dressing room.
His brother Alexis (26) has so far played 41 international matches for the Argentina national team, scoring six goals. The midfielder was also part of the team that won the world title in 2022, with Lionel Messi playing a leading role. Next year, Mac Allister, perhaps with his brother, can make another attempt at global success.
The father of the two brothers, Carlos, also played three international matches for the Argentina team in the past.
