"I'm not inside his head. I only see how he has played the last two matches, that he is returning to the level he always was, and we need him in this way. Then, in his head, I cannot be, but in what reflects in his work, I am very happy with what he gives us."

Julian Alvarez joined Atletico Madrid from Manchester City in 2024 and has attracted links to a Premier League return and reported Barcelona interest. He has made 113 appearances for Atletico, scoring 52 goals and providing 20 assists across all competitions. He scored in the Champions League draw with Club Brugge, his 12th goal in 18 appearances, yielding a 0.67 goals-per-game ratio—the best in Atletico Champions League history (minimum two goals). In LaLiga, he scored seven goals in his first 11 matches of 2025-26 but then went 13 league games without scoring, registering only eight shots on target in that run. Atletico faces a congested schedule including a Copa del Rey semi-final second leg with Barcelona, which Atletico leads 4-0.
