Alexis Mac Allister played a key role in securing Argentina's place in the 2026 World Cup final by turning the tables against England (2-1) on Wednesday in Atlanta.

The Reds midfielder hit the woodwork twice and was among Argentina's standout performers in this fiercely contested semi-final.

The 27-year-old boasts a remarkable record: he is the player with the most World Cup matches played without a single defeat in the tournament's history.

In 13 appearances, the Argentine international (53 caps, 7 goals) has recorded 11 wins and 2 draws (both won on penalties).

Now, all eyes are on whether Argentina can rely on their lucky charm to overcome Spain in the final and retain their World Cup crown.
