Liverpool signed World-Cup-winner Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, and during his first two terms on Merseyside, he established himself as a key member of the XI under both Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot.
The Argentine star was one of the Reds' standout players during the title-winning campaign of 2024/25, and despite struggling at times in 2025/26, Mac Allister remains a favourite amongst match-going fans.
As a result, the midfielder's song is belted out by the Anfield crowd at any and every opportunity, and it is no surprise given the catchiness of some of Liverpool's football chants.
Read on as Football Ground Guide covers all the key information on the Alexis Mac Allister chant, including the lyrics, tune and origin.
Alexis Mac Allister chant lyrics and tune
In the stands, we often only hear the chorus to the Alexis Mac Allister, but the full version is as follows:
Maradona was good,
When he was off his meds,
And Messi was alright,
‘Til the Tuesday night he had to play the Reds,
Oh Mac Allister,
Oh Mac Allister,
He's the best there's been,
From the Argentine,
Oh Mac Allister!
The verse has its own unique tune, but the chorus, from the first ‘Oh Mac Allister' onwards, is sung to the same tune that many clubs use for the ‘viva _____' chant.
Alexis Mac Allister chant background
The full version of the Alexis Mac Allister chant was reportedly created by a fan called John Fay, who is said to be part of a wider group of Liverpool fans who create songs in a local pub in Liverpool.
The song pays homage to Mac Allister's heritage by referencing Messi and Maradona, although the comments attached to both players aren't overly complimentary.
The chant also refers to one of the most famous nights that Anfield has ever seen, long before Mac Allister was even on their radar – the famous 4-0 comeback victory over Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.

FGG says: A mixed response from fans
Liverpool fans are very proud of the fact that the vast majority of songs in their playbook are unique, so this song has drawn some criticism from sections of the fanbase who associate this chant with the ‘Viva Ronaldo' chant that Man Utd fans created in the 2000s. However, other fans think it's catchy, even if the verse is perhaps a little wordy.
