Julián Álvarez was a starter in the FA Cup. The 'Spider', after not having a leading role in the last two Premier League games, was key in Manchester City's qualification to the next round of the English tournament. The 'Spider' scored a goal, but he lived an unusual moment with the Chelsea goalkeeper, who wanted to imitate Emiliano Martínez, but the move did not go as he expected.

There were hundreds of criticisms of Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, for substituting Julián Álvarez after winning the World Cup in Qatar. The former River Plate player had barely added 10 minutes in the last two games, and on the last day of the Premier League he was not returned to see by the experienced coach.

Everything changed in the FA Cup, where Julián started and commanded the attack of the 'citizens'. The world champion scored City's second goal, from the penalty spot, but before that he starred in a curious scene with Kepa Arrizabalaga, the 'blues' goalkeeper.

What did Kepa do and why did he remember Emiliano Martínez?

In the pure style of 'Dibu' Martínez, a figure in the World Cup in Qatar, the Spanish goalkeeper came up to want to intimidate Julián Álvarez. Despite the attempt, he was far from scaring the Argentine team, who demonstrated his hierarchy and beat the Chelsea goalkeeper. It is worth remembering that the offensive albiceleste is the only City player who has scored in all the competitions played this season.
