Alexis Mac Allister will face his brother in the Europa League

Kevin Mac Allister was thrilled with the draw

Although they are undoubtedly the favourites to come out on top, their opponents – specifically Union SG – appear far from threatened.

In fact, the Belgian Pro League side CELEBRATED the draw.

In a video posted on the club’s official social media pages, the squad can be seen celebrating after hearing the announcement.

The camera then pans to Kevin Mac Allister, brother of World Cup winner Alexis, who says: “See you soon bro!”

At Argentinos Juniors, a team located in their homeland of Buenos Aires, both brothers began their playing careers.

While Kevin signed his first permanent transfer to Union SG earlier this summer, Alexis departs in 2019 to join Brighton.

After a poor 2022–23 season, Liverpool will attempt to win the Europa League this year.

They might not have Mohamed Salah, their standout player, though.

This week, the 31-year-old’s transfer to Al-Ittihad has received significant media attention.

Today, Liverpool turned down a sensational £150 million offer for Salah.

The Saudi Pro League team, however, is claimed to have made a new offer of £170 million and may increase it to a record-breaking £200 million.
