Liverpool 'made a statement' with Man City and Madrid wins, says Mac Allister

Speaking in an interview with Spanish outlet AS, the Argentinian midfielder highlighted how these victories have boosted the team's confidence and sent a clear message to their rivals.
"We knew we were going to play against two of the best teams in the world, the ones that have dominated Europe in recent years. For us, it was a challenge to show that we can compete and win. We did it in the best way and playing at Anfield helped us a little bit because we had our people," he said.
The win over Real Madrid at Anfield marked a turning point in Liverpool's European ambitions. Just days later, a thrilling victory against Manchester City confirmed the Reds' great domestic campaign, showcasing their ability to compete with the league's best under Arne Slot
"I am happy with both games and especially with both results, but this is football and now we have to think about the next game. We made a statement as I said before. The team was very happy because we were able to play our style of play regardless of the result.
"I always say that I am privileged to surround myself with players who allow me to play better. I'm happy to be here and the teammates I have. We feel very confident," he added.
With momentum building on both domestic and European fronts, Liverpool are now focused on maintaining consistency. Slot's side will look to build on these results as they aim for silverware, with Mac Allister playing a crucial role in their push for success.
