After the match, his coach Diego Simeone was full of praise, telling AS:

Julián is the best player we have. We need to look after him so that he stays at Atlético for many years. Every time he makes the difference, he brings us so much.

Already linked with a move to FC Barcelona in recent months, Julián Álvarez continues to prove, match after match, that he is the new star of Atlético Madrid.
