Liverpool players mock Alexis Mac Allister after FC 25 ratings released
A video of Liverpool's players reacting to their ratings on the newly released EAFC 25 has been shared by the club, and it makes for hilarious viewing.
The popular video game was released earlier in September, and Diogo Jota and Alexis Mac Allister were seemingly entrusted with delivering special editions of the game to their Liverpool teammates at the Reds' training ground.
A common theme throughout the video is the players asking Mac Allister for his pace rating on the game, which suggests that there is something on an in-joke between the players about the Argentine's speed, or lack thereof.

Darwin Nunez unsurprisingly brought plenty of laughs out of his teammates, particularly when he asked how some of his ratings had changed as he had spent so much time on the substitutes' bench.
Pace ratings seemed to prompt the most passionate reactions from players, and the player with the highest pace rating in Liverpool's squad is Federico Chiesa, with 93. "93?!" said Mac Allister after learning of the Italian's rating, to which Chiesa responded: "93, yes. I'm fast, dude."
After presenting Dominik Szoboszlai with his edition of the game, Mac Allister said of his own rating: "What should be higher for me is the pace - 69!", to which Szoboszlai responded: "No, that's fair! That's fair!". To rub salt into Mac Allister's wound, Jota said: "Maybe less, maybe less!"
After Curtis Jones' pace on the game was revealed to be 68, Jota said: "Slower than Macca?!" to which Mac Allister responded: "He is!" Jones was stunned by that claim, saying: "Bro, I'm quicker than you backwards!"
Liverpool has three 89-rated players on the game, with Mohamed Salah, Alisson and Virgil van Dijk all handed that rating, but Van Dijk was the only player to appear in the video.
"I want to buy you straight away for my team. I have to say, 89 defending, he's like a wall," Jota said to Van Dijk, who then turned to Mac Allister and said: "What is your pace?" Mac Allister responded: "Why are you asking me that?!"
The camaraderie on show was brilliant to see and suggested that spirits are high within the squad after an excellent start to the season under Arne Slot.
