Julián Álvarez: The Spider takes flight at Atlético de Madrid
Julián Álvarez was the standout player in Atlético de Madrid’s convincing 6-0 win over Sparta Prague in the Champions League. The Argentine striker scored a brace in the game, including a stunning free-kick goal, and was named ‘MVP’ of the match.
Álvarez has scored seven goals in the last ten games, including two braces in that time, and is currently the team’s top scorer. The international albiceleste is in excellent form and compares favorably with other great strikers who have played for Atlético in recent years. The next game will be on Saturday in Valladolid, and Álvarez is expected to continue to show his quality on the pitch.
