Julián Álvarez Unleashes Colchonero Euphoria
Julián Álvarez has become the great sensation of Atlético de Madrid. His brilliant performance at Mestalla, with two goals that paved the way for the victory (0-3) over Valencia, has unleashed euphoria among the Rojiblancos fans.
The Argentine striker, with amazing effectiveness, demonstrated his goal-scoring nose with two accurate shots: the first, a powerful shot after a pass from Giuliano, and the second, an impeccable header from Griezmann’s cross.
Despite missing a one-on-one that could have meant his hat-trick, Julián Álvarez continues to add important goals. He already has 19 goals with Atlético, matching his best goal-scoring record in Europe, and there are still decisive months ahead in the three competitions in which the team is immersed: League, Champions League and Copa del Rey.
The striker has stated that he is happy with the good moment of the team and the fight in the three tournaments. Of his nine goals in La Liga, six have served to open the scoring, demonstrating his importance in key moments.
A revealing fact is that when Julián scores in La Liga or Copa, Atlético does not lose, with the exception of the match against Lille in the Champions League.
Comparing his performance with that of other historical figures of the club, Julián is only two goals away from equaling the 21 goals that Luis Suárez scored in the league title season (20/21). With a demanding schedule ahead, Julián Álvarez’s goal-scoring contribution seems fundamental for Atlético to face the challenges ahead with guarantees.
