Liverpool picked up a fantastic win over Sparta Prague in the Europa League last night, and Luis Diaz seems really impressed with Alexis Mac Allister’s performance.
The Reds were always the favourites to win the game, but away fixtures in Europe can be tricky. Sparta Prague made it difficult for Liverpool at times, but Jurgen Klopp’s side then showed who’s the boss by scoring five past them. Mac Allister had a brilliant game.

Liverpool weren’t at their best last night, but they still managed to destroy Sparta Prague.
Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring from the penalty spot after just six minutes, before Darwin Nunez scored a brace to put the visitors 3-0 up at half-time.
Luis Diaz scored eight minutes into the second half and Dominik Szoboszlai then made it 5-1 for Liverpool at the very end of the game.
Mac Allister had a fine evening in the middle of the park. You can’t ask more from a central midfielder than a goal and an assist in a 5-1 win, can you?
Liverpool fans, players and even Jurgen Klopp must have been delighted with how good the Argentine was – Diaz was definitely impressed.
Replying to Mac Allister’s Instagram post, Diaz wrote, “Mago,” which is Spanish for ‘Magician!”

Mac Allister also registered three key passes and won four of his five attempted ground duels. That’s along with winning a penalty, scoring a goal and picking up an assist. (Sofascore)
