Julián Alvarez Relives the Magic from the Penalty Spot
Goals that enchant! Julián Alvarez once again demonstrated his composure and quality by converting a crucial penalty for Atlético de Madrid in the match against Sevilla. After a clear foul on Gallagher inside the area, the referee did not hesitate to point to the penalty spot, giving ‘La Araña’ the opportunity to shine.
This goal has a special flavor, considering the controversial penalty that was disallowed in the Champions League against Real Madrid. With admirable determination, Alvarez deceived goalkeeper Nyland with an accurate shot, scoring the 1-1 and igniting hope among the Colchoneros fans.
This is not his first penalty goal with the red and white shirt. He had already demonstrated his precision and coolness in the Copa del Rey against Vic, after a foul on Giuliano, and in an exciting league derby against Real Madrid, where he delighted us with a spectacular Panenka after a stamp by Tchouameni on Lino. Alvarez is consolidating himself as a benchmark in Atlético’s attack, a player capable of assuming responsibility in key moments and lifting the fans with his talent. Let’s continue enjoying his goals and celebrating every victory together at the Metropolitano!
