Liverpool star Mac Allister in legal battle after being sued by ex-partner
Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister is embroiled in a legal dispute with his former partner, Camila Mayan, who is suing him for €4.5 million.
What Mac Allister said
In an interview with Sergio Aguero on ESPN's "La Casa del Kun," via Abola, Alexis Mac Allister discussed the recent successes of South American teams against European opponents in the Club World Cup, citing Botafogo's 1-0 victory over PSG and Flamengo's 3-1 triumph against Chelsea.
However, the Argentinian World Cup winner believes these results are exceptions to the rule of general European dominance.

"Argentine or South American clubs can compete in one or two games, but over time they don't stand a chance against European sides. South American teams match European teams in passion and the desire to win, but ultimately, that's not enough," Mac Allister stated.
In the same interview, the 26-year-old heaped praise on PSG, who have already reached the Club World Cup quarter-finals and knocked Liverpool out of this season's Champions League: "They're the best team around, they're flying. They have it all: they are very disciplined, play well with the ball, and have great movement. For me, they are the best."
