Argentina’s soccer team finished its year with a historic win. The match will be known for its controversies on and off the pitch, but it will not leave aside Argentina’s milestone. The feeling of beating Brazil at the historic Mracana Stadium meant a lot to its midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister, who was understandably happy.

Argentina has always been a very strong rival in South America for the Canarinhos. But today’s game went way too far off the pitch. However, the final result favored the Argentinians, giving them the winning glory.

Alexis Mac Allister has choice words for the win

Argentina came into the final 2026 World Cup Qualifier of the year with a loss in the previous game. But the team churned out the 5-time World Champions at their own home at the iconic Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. One person who felt it was thrilling was Mac Allister, who was quoted as saying in a tweet, “Winning against Brazil at Maracanã in a World Cup qualifier is a p*rn.”

Mac Allister has started in all the games for Argentina in these qualifiers, but he found this game to be the most joyful. The midfielder is best known for scoring the second goal against Poland, which was a decisive game for Argentina to get into the knockout stage. However, the Liverpool player has not been on the scoring sheet in these qualifiers yet.
