Diego Simeone did not hide his admiration for Julián Álvarez after the victory of Atlético Madrid against Rayo Vallecano (3-2): “Julián Álvarez is the best player we have, we have to take care of it and keep him for many years at Atlético. We must help him become even better than it is already ”said the Argentinian coach. These words take on their full meaning after the XXL performance of the Argentinian international, author of a saving triplet, which allowed the Colchoneros to reverse the situation when they were led in the 78th minute.
Muet for six games, Álvarez has relaunched its counter by first marking on a center of Marcos Llorente (15th), before equalizing timely after a stop from Batalla (80th), then concluding the show with a monumental strike of the left foot (88th). Thanks to this performance, Atlético garnered three crucial points and consolidates the importance of its 2022 world champion within the team, confirming Simeone's words on its central role for the present and the future of the club.
