Lisandro Martinez got surprising reaction from Liverpool star over his goal at Anfield

Alexis Mac Allister says he teased Lisandro Martinez after the defender scored for Manchester United against Liverpool.

The pair know each other well from their time together in the Argentina national team, but were forced to put their camaraderie aside during Sunday's 2-2 draw at Anfield. Martinez, who isn't exactly known for his goalscoring abilities, took everyone by surprise by netting the opener.

Liverpool quickly levelled the score with Cody Gakpo, before Mohamed Salah put them in front from the penalty spot. But the spoils were ultimately shared thanks to a late equaliser by Amad.

After the game, Mac Allister looked visibly disappointed with the result, but couldn't resist a light-hearted jab at his countryman, Martinez. In a post-match chat with TNT Sports Mexico, Mac Allister said: "I have a very good relationship with Licha [Martinez].

With a laugh, he added: "It's incredible because he doesn't score a goal against anyone, but he scores a goal against us. So nothing, I teased him a bit.

"I'll probably stop to say hello and chat for a while. And well, I wish him the best. I knew that his wife was pregnant, so I hope he comes back full of joy, good health and that they can be very happy as a family."

Martinez began his career at Newell's Old Boys, the club renowned for being Lionel Messi's first team, while Mac Allister started out at Diego Maradona's first side, Argentinos Juniors. Both players joined the Argentina squad in 2019 after making their respective moves to Europe.
