Diego Simeone praised Julian Alvarez after his two-goal performance in Atletico Madrid's 3-0 victory against Valencia. Acquired for €75 million from Manchester City, Alvarez's goals highlight his crucial role in Atletico's title bid, taking his league tally to nine. Simeone expressed confidence in Alvarez's fit with the club's culture, even before he fully showcased his potential. The win briefly put Atletico on top of LaLiga, showcasing a competitive race with Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title this season.
Although he still couldn't reflect with facts what we were looking for when we signed him, I said I was sure he had Atleti's DNA.
He won everything by the age of 25 - the World Cup with Argentina, the Champions League and the Premier League with Manchester City.
