Former Man City man haunts Arsenal with crucial Atlético equaliser 💪 | OneFootball

Julián Alvarez beat Arsenal to two titles while he was a Manchester City player and has been linked with a summer move to the Emirates in recent weeks. 

So, of course, he equalised for Atlético tonight in their Champions League semi-final first leg. 

After Viktor Gyökeres had given the Gunners a half-time lead with a rocket from the spot, the Argentinian matched him with an equally brilliant penalty, giving David Raya no chance. 

Like last night when Alphonso Davies was punished for a controversial handball, Ben White was the fall guy here in what is sure to be a talking point for days to come. 

The goal also saw Alvarez make Champions League history for the club he signed for in 2024 and reach 25 goals in the competition faster than any Argentinian player - even Lionel Messi!

Has one of Pep Guardiola's former players kickstarted a comeback victory against Mikel Arteta's side? It writes itself!
