It’s almost been more than two weeks since Argentina and Alexis Mac Allister lifted the World Cup after a sensational final in Qatar. The celebrations were one for the ages as the whole nation looked like a parade. The trophy had come home after a wait of 37 long years.
The Brighton midfielder played a vital role in the nation’s victory. He has had a fantastic start to the season after scoring 5 goals for Brighton in 14 matches. After continuing this form in the World Cup, he has now returned to his club in the Premier League.
The player returned to the Brighton and Hove facility after the new year only to receive a hero’s welcome. The coaching staff and the players were all in attendance to witness his grand return filled with celebrations and applause.
How did Brighton welcome Alexis Mac Allister?
In a video posted by Brighton’s official team account, it is seen that the Argentine was first greeted by all the players and the staff. Following this, he was given a replica of the World Cup trophy.
As Mac Allister lifted the trophy, he was showered with confetti blasts from both sides. It was a beautiful display from the club to show the player their appreciation for their talent and contribution.
There were Argentine flags also pinned up on either side of the desk. A LED screen was set up with his image of the World Cup in an Argentine shirt. The video has gone viral on social media as fans loved to watch his return.
What is next for Brighton and Mac Allister?
There were some trolls also who had a laugh at the Brighton cleaning staff after looking at the large heap of confetti that was dispersed from the blast. Brighton who is currently placed 9th in the Premier League table will look to improve their position with the return of their star player.
After Graham Potter left the club, Roberto De Zerbi has now taken over. The Brighton no. 10 will now put his full focus on club football and continue his impressive season with them.
At 24 years of age, he is only going to get better in the years to come. His contract with Brighton is valid until 2025. If he continues to play like this we may see him earn a move to a top European club in the near future.
