Kevin Mac Allister, an Argentine footballer playing for Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium, shared a jubilant celebration with his teammates following Argentina's victory over England in a recent match.

A viral video captured the midfielder and his colleagues enthusiastically cheering for each of Argentina's goals, including those scored by Enzo Fernรกndez and Lautaro Martรญnez. The celebration intensified with each goal, culminating in a united chant of "Meeeessi! Meeeessi! Meeeessi!" after Martรญnez's header, which was set up by Lionel Messi.

Upon the final whistle, Mac Allister expressed his elation by throwing his jersey and exclaiming, "I love you more every day, I am Argentine, it's a feeling, I can't stop." The video concluded with a phrase indicating a "stylish finish." He also shared a moment of sportsmanship with his English teammate Ross Sykes, exchanging respectful words.

Mac Allister joined Union Saint-Gilloise in mid-2023 and has since contributed to four titles, including two Belgian Cups and the 2024-2025 league title. He also participated in the Champions League with the team. His strong performances earned him a call-up to the Argentine senior national team in November 2025, where he made his debut in a 2-0 win against Angola, playing 30 minutes. He was also part of the squad for friendly matches in March and April, and was included in the preliminary 55-player list for the 2026 World Cup, though he did not make the final cut.
