Alexis Mac Allister has shown his class after sharing a heartfelt message to Luis Diaz after getting the better of his Liverpool team-mate in Sunday’s Copa America final.
Argentina ran out 1-0 winners after extra-time, much to the delight of Mac Allister
But Diaz was understandably devastated by the loss, having helped fire Colombia to their first Copa America final since 2001
Los Cafeteros had put together a 28-game unbeaten run dating back to February 2022 prior to being downed by Argentina, to further add to their disappointment.
The Liverpool forward was understandably devastated by the defeat, and shared an emotional post
Diaz
"Dear Colombians, I took a few days to process the pain of losing this final,"
“Today I want to thank everyone who accompanied us during the Copa América from every corner of the country, the flag-waving in our hotels, their messages on networks, filling the stadiums, everything was incredible.”
"Unfortunately we could not give ourselves the joy of being champions but I assure you that this group will not get tired of trying and that we will be excited again.
“I am proud of our entire team, we are a family and we have left everything on the field for our flag.”
"Finally, I want to tell you that life has taught me to fall and get up, pain is a teacher that forges character and moulds us for a better future. VIVA COLOMBIA we will return…"
Mac Allister responded to his Reds club team-mate’s post, encouraging him to stay positive and congratulating him despite the defeat

“Head up Luchito!”
“And congratulations on the tournament you played.”
