Julián Álvarez: Atlético's Decisive Strike
Julián Álvarez has established himself as a key player in Atlético’s lineup, accumulating 17 goals this season across La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Champions League, in addition to four assists. His goal-scoring instinct and technical quality have made him a decisive player for the team.
Against Celta, Álvarez scored the winning goal in the 90th minute, capitalizing on a cross from Griezmann and adding three vital points for Atlético. This goal was far more important than the one he scored against Valencia, which ended the match with a 3-0 score.
Since then, ‘La Araña’ has established himself as a starter alongside Griezmann, relegating Sorloth and Correa to the bench. At 25 years old and under contract until 2028, Álvarez, valued at 80 million, has demonstrated his goal-scoring ability in La Liga, also scoring against Real Sociedad, Mallorca, Valladolid, Osasuna, and Real Madrid. His adaptation to the team has been key, and his contribution to Atlético’s attack is undeniable. Atlético fans are confident that he will continue to be a decisive player in the team’s future.
