Neither Haaland nor Mbappe, Julian Alvarez's impressive record in 2023

Julian Alvarez is significantly positioned as one of the best footballers of the moment. The English forward has achieved important records that make him one of the highest level footballers today. The Argentine player has earned the starting position at Manchester City, without having to displace Haaland and now, an important record for the footballer in the Champions League is revealed.

The situation of former River Plate forward Julian Alvarez at Manchester City has never been easy. Overshadowed by the omnipresent scorer Erling Haaland, "the spider" has had to make the most of the opportunities that Pep Guardiola offers him. The player has the trust of Pep Guardiola and it is reflected in the footballer's performance on the field and his great scoring quota.

And boy has he done it. Álvarez is the perfect catalyst and against Leipzig in the UCL he has demonstrated it again. He came off the bench with a 0-2 down and scored the comeback goal, sealing first position in the group (3-2). In this Champions League he has 4 goals and 1 assist, having only played 34% of the minutes played by City. In 155 minutes 4 goals. In other words 1 goal every 38 minutes. Bestial

What's next for Manchester City and Julian Alvarez?

The Argentine striker wants to continue his high level and to do so they have a difficult commitment in the Premier League. Those led by Pep Guardiola will try to regain the lead when they face Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium (Sunday, December 3). If they win, at least, they would maintain the distance of one point against Liverpool (who will play against Raúl Jiménez's Fulham) and will be on the lookout for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, who will face Wolverhampton.
