Julián Álvarez: The Re-encounter with his Colchoneros Takeoff
Julián Álvarez’s arrival at Atlético de Madrid this summer generated great expectation, reminiscent of signings of the caliber of Joao Félix. After a cautious start to the season due to his intense previous activity, the Argentine striker quickly debuted, although his adaptation was gradual.
The first games were not easy, and the fans were beginning to get impatient to see his goalscoring potential. However, the turning point came in a crucial match against Celta in Balaídos.
In a complicated encounter, with an Atlético still looking for their best form, a goal from Julián in the 90th minute, after a cross from Griezmann, gave the team the victory. This goal not only meant three vital points, but also marked the beginning of the ‘Spider’s’ goalscoring explosion.
Since then, Julián has proven his worth with important goals in various competitions, including a standout performance in the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen and decisive goals against rivals such as Vic, Mallorca, Osasuna, and Real Madrid.
His contribution has been fundamental to the team. Now, Julián faces Celta again, the team that witnessed his first ‘deadly sting,’ a moment that catapulted his confidence and cemented his place as a key piece in Atlético’s scheme. Fans eagerly await to see the Argentine striker shine again.
