Alexis Mac Allister spoke about Argentina’s upcoming Finalissima against Spain and the 2026 World Cup, offering an honest assessment of where the team stands.
Argentina will face Spain on March 27 at Lusail Stadium in Qatar, the same venue where the Albiceleste lifted the World Cup in 2022. The match will serve as an important test ahead of the tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Spain arrive as the reigning European champions, and Mac Allister did not hesitate to praise them. “Right now I see Spain above us,” he said, recognizing the level La Roja are playing at despite recent injuries and doubts in their squad.
The Liverpool midfielder also mentioned France as another top contender for the World Cup. “I think Spain and France are the two best, and we are there as well,” he explained. While he placed those two slightly ahead, he made it clear that Argentina remain among the favorites as defending world champions.
Looking specifically at the Finalissima, Mac Allister expects a difficult match. “They have very good players, they are in a very good moment, and the Finalissima will be complicated. We are confident and we will go forward,” he added.
