Julián Alvarez, Europe's most lethal player
Argentine Julián Alvarez has proven to be a key player for Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League, where he has scored six goals in seven shots on target. With a goal or assist every 70 minutes and 23 seconds of play, Alvarez has surpassed Europe’s top area predators like Haaland, Cristiano, Messi and Mbappé.
In addition, his attitude on the field and his effort have been highly valued by his teammates. Although he has not given any assists in Europe as a rojiblanco, he has two in La Liga. Simeone will decide if Alvarez plays against Salzburg and Mallorca, but the striker feels ready to do so.
