The Liverpool midfielder had to leave the Argentina dressing room to make sure his family were safely granted access to the stadium amid crowd trouble.
Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister was forced to leave the Argentina dressing room to help his family gain access to the Copa America final amid “inhumane” scenes outside of the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Kick-off against Colombia was delayed by 80 minutes amid reports of ticketless fans trying to gain entry for the showpiece fixture.
"We were in communication with Alexis the whole time, but he said he would stay outside until we would come in. He waited for us until we came in. We hugged him once inside, left him to be calm and told him to win." CONMEBOL released a statement condemning the scenes at the Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina. Questions are being raised over the USA’s ability to control crowd trouble ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which it is co-hosting alongside Canada and Mexico.
