Global press reports revealed a surprise regarding the Argentine national team duo after losing the 2026 World Cup title to the Spanish national team.
Lisandro Martínez and Alexis Mac Allister, the Argentine national team duo, had participated in the victory against England by two goals to one in the World Cup semi-final.
According to the British newspaper "The Sun", Lisandro Martínez and Mac Allister were placed under security protection after Argentina's victory against England.
Private security companies had been present at the homes of the Manchester United defender and Liverpool midfielder, as they hired guards to secure their homes in northwest England.
Lisandro Martínez had raised a sign reading "The Falkland Islands are Argentine" alongside Mac Allister, Cristian Romero, and Lo Celso, which caused tension after England's exit from the tournament.

Security forces were present for two days, and no attempts to vandalize Martínez or Mac Allister's properties were recorded, and Manchester United did not participate in arranging the special security measures for the Argentine centre-back.
Martínez enjoys widespread popularity among Manchester United fans since joining in July 2022, and team supporters have been accustomed to chanting the Argentine's name in support of Argentine players over the past 25 years.
Manchester United fans welcomed Lisandro Martínez upon his return to Old Trafford by raising the Argentine flag in the "Stretford End" stand after winning the 2022 World Cup.
Brighton fans also made handmade banners in honour of the club's former midfielder Mac Allister in 2022 after he also won the World Cup.
