Alexis Mac Allister has started every single game at the World Cup for Argentina bar one, their opening game against Saudi Arabia.

Alexis Mac Allister has made club history by becoming the first ever Albion player to reach the FIFA World Cup Final.

Our no.10 was part of the Argentina side that cruised past Croatia in their semi-final on Tuesday night, as a penalty from Lionel Messi and a brace from Manchester City's Julian Alvarez gave Lionel Scaloni's men a 3-0 win over their European opponents. 

After being an unused substitute in their shock opening group game defeat to Saudi Arabia, Alexis has started every match since, scoring the opening goal in the group stage victory over Poland and is undefeated in the tournament when he has featured.

Alexis and Argentina will face either Morocco or France in the final this weekend as La Albiceleste look to end a 36-year wait to lift the World Cup trophy.
