Mac Allister Sends Liverpool A MESSAGE! Araujo & Wirtz Shine

Alexis Mac Allister answered the pre-match noise in the best possible way as Liverpool's midfielder produced a superb performance and the winning goal against Atletico Madrid — but questions surrounding his long-term Anfield future aren't going away.

On Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave reacts to Mac Allister's display and the debate surrounding his contract situation, while also assessing Liverpool's midfield under Andoni Iraola. Dominik Szoboszlai continues to produce decisive moments, but Ryan Gravenberch's place in the pecking order and the gaps in Liverpool's double pivot remain major talking points.

There's plenty of praise for Florian Wirtz after another encouraging performance, while Ronald Araujo continues to make a compelling case to be Liverpool's first-choice right-back.

Dave also assesses Bradley Barcola's exciting first start, Jeremy Jacquet's hugely impressive Champions League showing and Rio Ngumoha's second-half improvement.

Plus, Alisson's surprise Brazil omission could be great news for Liverpool as attention quickly turns towards Fulham and the possibility of making it three consecutive victories.
