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

All the members of the Atlético de Madrid environment are amazed by Julián Alvarez. The Argentine National Team forward already has 35 goals (and 9 assists in 64 matches), four of which were against Real Madrid, making them his favorite victim since he arrived in European football.

He scored two at the Santiago Bernabéu last season (one in LaLiga and another in the Champions League) and two in the Madrid Derby that took place this past Saturday at the Metropolitano Stadium. The Spider scored the third and fourth goals to lead the Colchonero to victory against the team led by Xabi Alonso.

That's why fans, executives, teammates, and the coaching staff are all in awe of the Calchín-born player. Fernando Torres, the legendary striker who is one of Atlético de Madrid's top scorers with 129 goals in 403 matches, is also impressed by the former River player's current form.

"For me, Julián Alvarez is the best player in the world, without a doubt. There's not much more to say, we enjoy 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.
