Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister spoke to Sky Sport on the eve of the match that the Reds will play at Anfield against Vincenzo Italiano's Bologna for the second round of the new Champions League.
Here are the Argentine midfielder's thoughts on Italian football, as he also made a comment about Milan, whom they faced at San Siro in the first round, a match which ended in the Premier League side's favour with a 1-3 result.
Your origins are in Molise. Have you ever delved deeper into understanding your Italian roots?
"Not much. I have an Italian passport, that's true. I played against an Italian team for the first time against Milan, and Italian culture is similar to Argentine culture. For me, it's still a source of pride, the Italian history, and having played against a club like the Rossoneri."
