Argentine Players Hire Security After World Cup Win

After Argentina's 2-1 victory over England in the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, two Argentine players, Lisandro Martinez, a defender for Manchester United, and Alexis Mac Allister, a midfielder for Liverpool, hired private security firms to guard their homes in the UK. This decision came in response to heightened emotions following the dramatic win, where Argentina came back from a goal down, with Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez scoring to secure the victory after Anthony Gordon had initially put England ahead.

The players had security personnel patrolling their residences for two days, although the report confirmed that there were no attempts to vandalize either Martinez's or Mac Allister's properties during this time.
