Alexis Mac Allister scored in Argentina’s win over Poland yesterday, ending a whirlwind group C. His last name is something people would not expect to be associated with Argentine football. Rather it is a common name in areas around England and Scotland. Seeing that he plays in the Premier League as well, it was a bit of a surprise to some fans that he was Argentine.

Group C comes to a dramatic end! 😱

🇦🇷 Lionel Messi and Argentina top the group!
🇵🇱 Poland go through on goal difference!

Alexis’ father Carlos Mac Allister was also a professional footballer. He is currently a politician in Argentina. The ex-footballer spoke of his Irish and Scottish descent but said he has no deep relations with his ancestral roots. All three of his sons are professional footballers. 

Who is Alexis Mac Allister’s Mother?
