LIVERPOOL midfielder Alexis Mac Allister will come face to face with his brother when the Reds take on Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League group stages this season.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were named in Group E alongside Union SG, Toulouse and LASK Linz today.

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.

Mohamed Salah, their star player, might not be available.

The 31-year-old’s move to Al-Ittihad has drawn a lot of media interest this week.

Liverpool today rejected a stunning £150 million offer for Salah.

However, it is asserted that the Saudi Pro League squad has made a fresh bid of £170 million and might raise it to a record-breaking £200 million.
