“It Could’ve Broken My Leg!” – Mac Allister Still Furious Over Controversial Liverpool Call

Mac Allister Still Furious Over Tarkowski Tackle — “It could have broken my leg twice!”

The season may be in the books, but not everything has been forgotten—especially not by Alexis Mac Allister, who remains livid over one particular moment that could have ended very differently.

Liverpool stormed to the Premier League title this year, and central to that triumph was the phenomenal form of Mac Allister. The Argentine’s second season at Anfield confirmed why he’s considered among the world’s elite midfielders, with that £35 million price tag now looking like one of the steals of the decade.

While most players are enjoying some well-earned rest ahead of pre-season, Mac Allister isn’t just lounging on beaches or switching off completely. He’s still carrying the frustration of one reckless moment from April—a challenge that could have changed everything.

Tarkowski’s Tackle Still Haunts Mac Allister

During the fiery Merseyside derby at Anfield, James Tarkowski flew into a shocking challenge that stunned fans, players, and pundits alike. Incredibly, the Everton defender escaped a red card on the day—something Mac Allister still can’t believe.

Speaking recently in an interview back in Argentina, the 26-year-old didn’t hold back:

“It could have broken my leg twice!” Mac Allister said.

“That they didn’t send him [Tarkowski] off was incredible. If I’d had my foot planted on the ground, it would have broken my leg completely.”

“At the time, I realised it was too strong. But what shocked me most was his face when he went for the tackle. I wouldn’t say he was going to try to break me, but I feel I was lucky given the way he went in.”

The PGMOL later admitted the decision was incorrect—Tarkowski should have seen red. It was another moment that reignited the ongoing fury over VAR’s inconsistencies.

Wirtz Rumours Quashed — Midfield Pairing Could Terrify Rivals

Thankfully, Mac Allister escaped serious injury and is already looking ahead—with even greater ambition. Liverpool are eyeing further reinforcement in midfield, and one name continues to be linked: Florian Wirtz.

Rumours had swirled that the young German wanted Mac Allister’s shirt number, but Wirtz shut those down with a fiery Instagram post:

“I respect players. Don’t believe everything that’s written.”

Now, with a potential partnership brewing, the thought of Mac Allister linking up with Wirtz has Liverpool fans dreaming of dominance.

This midfield duo could become the heartbeat of Klopp’s—or his successor’s—Liverpool, dictating games and striking fear into even the toughest opposition.

At just 26, Mac Allister seems to have no ceiling. And if Wirtz does arrive this summer, the two could form a generational pairing—one that could steer Liverpool into a new era of midfield supremacy.
