International star: Julián Álvarez is the world’s best player | OneFootball

Everyone involved with Atlético de Madrid is amazed by Julián Alvarez. The Argentine national team striker has already scored 35 goals (and provided 9 assists in 64 matches), four of which have come against Real Madrid, making them his favorite victim since arriving in European football.

He scored two at the Santiago Bernabéu last season (one in LaLiga and another in the Champions League) and two more in the Madrid Derby played this past Saturday at the Metropolitano Stadium. "La Araña" netted the third and fourth goals to put the Colchoneros on the path to victory against the team led by Xabi Alonso.

That’s why fans, directors, teammates, and the coaching staff are all in awe of the Calchín-born player. And someone else who is also impressed by the former River Plate star’s current form is Fernando Torres, the legendary center-forward who is one of Atlético de Madrid’s all-time top scorers with 129 goals in 403 matches.

“For me, Julián Alvarez is the best player in the world, without any doubt. There’s not much more to say, we enjoy watching him, like in the Derby. We’ve been enjoying him for a long time,” said “El Niño,” the current coach of Atlético Madrileño (Atleti’s reserve team), in the press conference following his team’s 2-0 victory over Ibiza.
