Alexis Mac Allister’s emotional celebration in front of the Kop said it all. Just a day earlier, the Liverpool midfielder had admitted his disappointment that the club did not offer him a new contract this summer.
But against Atletico Madrid, Mac Allister let his football do the talking, scoring a superb goal as Liverpool secured a 2-1 Champions League victory at Anfield.
After a below-par 2025-26 season, Liverpool’s decision-makers reportedly felt his performances did not justify fresh terms. Mac Allister knows he still has something to prove — and this was the perfect response.
If he can maintain this level, it may only be a matter of time before Liverpool come back to the negotiating table.
Should Liverpool give Mac Allister a new contract if he keeps performing like this?
