🔥 Messi's record broken! Álvarez makes double CL history

As is almost always the case this Champions League season when Atlético Madrid play, Julián Álvarez left his mark on the game today as well.

In the first leg of the semifinal against Arsenal (1-1), the Argentine scored his tenth goal of the season, outshining none other than Lionel Messi.

With that goal, Álvarez is now the Argentine who needed the fewest matches (41) to score 25 Champions League goals. But that’s not all. The 26-year-old is also now the first Atlético player ever to hit double figures in a single Champions League season. Now that’s a statement.

What do you think: Will he fire Atlético into the Champions League final next Tuesday as well?
