A familiar surname will be back under European lights this week as Kevin Mac Allister – the older brother of Liverpool midfielder Alexis – prepares to face Inter Milan in the Champions League.
The Union Saint-Gilloise defender spoke exclusively FlashScoreanticipating a clash that will inspire both pride and nostalgia for him and his family.
Kevin Mac Allister recalls an emotional meeting at Anfield with Alexis
It is not the first time that we have heard from the Belgian team’s central defender about his connection with Anfield.
In 2023, Liverpool were drawn against Union SG in the Europa League, and Kevin made headlines for his reaction to that draw, telling his sibling: “See you soon, brother!” – a moment that delighted supporters on social media.
Months later he walked onto the ground to a thunderous reception by The Kop, who applauded him as he left the pitch, showing the same class we have become famous for around the world.
Reflecting on these experiences, the Argentinian said: “Normally I never go outside for kick-off, but that day I wanted to.
“I was waiting for Alexis on the pitch and texted him to hurry up. We shared a buddy at Anfield… that gave me goosebumps.”
He mentioned it “one of the best moments” of his career, adding: “Playing with or against your brother is something you never forget.”
That unforgettable encounter is now followed by another high-profile test – this time against Inter Milan and Lautaro Martinez, his former youth teammate.
Family, Argentina and Inter Milan are waiting for the challenge
Kevin, now 27, described the coming clash as one “huge challenge” but one he enjoys.
“When the draw was announced, I was happy” he said. “But we all know it will be difficult. For me, Inter is one of the five best teams in Europe.”
The defender, son of former Argentina international Carlos Mac Allister, also revealed that he and his wife are expecting their first child in December – another milestone in what has become a special year for his family.
Having already scored in Union’s opening match against PSV, the Argentinian is proving his quality as he continues to live up to the family name that is now etched in Anfield’s history.
