Julián Álvarez: The New Colchonero Idol
Atlético fans are in luck! Julián Álvarez has burst onto the scene at the Metropolitano with unstoppable force, exceeding expectations and leaving an indelible mark in his first season. He arrived to share the attack, but quickly established himself as an offensive benchmark.
With 26 goals, he has already surpassed the 25 that Antoine Griezmann scored in his first campaign as a Rojiblanco. An impressive achievement not seen since Falcao’s time and his 36 goals in the 2011-2012 season.
Beyond the comparison with Griezmann, Álvarez is rewriting the recent history of the club. His numbers place him among the best goalscoring starts in the entity’s 122 years.
While reaching the historical records of Pruden, Baltazar or Hasselbaink seems like a titanic task, Julián’s next goal is to surpass the 29 goals that Vieri achieved in the 97-98 season. With several games ahead, including the Club World Cup, the ‘Spider’ has the opportunity to continue climbing positions in the Rojiblanco Olympus. Let’s continue enjoying his talent and celebrating his goals!
