"The Argentine has scored 11 goals in 15 matches for Atleti in the Champions League, the best goals per game ratio (0.73) for any Atleti player in the competition, while only Antoine Griezmann has scored more for the club (39). In the last two seasons, only Serhou Guirassy (16) has been involved in more goals in the Champions League group/league phase than Alvarez (10 goals, three assists)."
"I hope he keeps playing like this because they're essential. Alex [Sorloth] showed great sportsmanship by setting him up for the first goal. Julian returned today, as many had hoped, to be the game-changing player he is. He worked hard, he ran, he had incredible individual moments."
Atlético Madrid beat PSV 3-2 in the Champions League as Julián Alvarez levelled before David Hancko and Alexander Sorloth secured the victory; Ricardo Pepi's late strike was a consolation. Alvarez has 11 goals in 15 Champions League matches for Atlético, giving him the club's best goals-per-game ratio (0.73) and placing him behind only Antoine Griezmann in total club goals. Over the past two seasons Alvarez has been involved in ten group-stage goals. This season only Kylian Mbappé and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have more goal involvements. Diego Simeone praised Alvarez's work-rate, individual moments and game-changing influence.
