Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has revisited Argentina's World Cup triumph in December.

Alexis played a starring role in the Qatar victory.

He recalled: "We had high expectations for the World Cup. We weren't the favourites but we were the best team and that's what it takes to win. Step by step we built this triumph. With (Giovani) Lo Celso's injury, I knew that I would have chances.

"When it came to my turn in the second game, I had a lot of confidence in myself."

On then final, he also said: "My family was behind the bench. When I saw them, I cried for a minute and then I crossed the field to hug my teammates. I had never experienced something like this. We still don't realise it. We know the importance of having won the World Cup and everything we have experienced, but we will only achieve it in 5-10 years.

"It is every player's dream and it is a great joy to have won."
