Two Argentine footballers say they have hired private security to protect their homes in the UK following Argentina’s 2–1 victory over England in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinal. Reports identify the players as Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez and Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. The accounts state that the pair have arranged for security patrols to be present at their residences, including coverage around their houses, as a precaution.
Both sources describe the decision as a response to fears of possible repercussions after the match, framing it as additional personal safety measures rather than a specific threat. While the reports attribute the details to reporting from UK tabloid media, they converge on the same core information: the players involved, the timing after the England game, and the use of private security at their homes in England.
No further information is provided in the supplied articles about any confirmed incident or specific security alert linked to the players.
