19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Julian is amazing as a #10. The pass for the first goal was David Silva-esque thing of beauty!

As I've said before.. no one's gonna bench Haaland, not even Shearer in his prime. He's gonna have to learn another position and he did really good today!

2 goals and assist.. not a bad office at the day!

Fantastic game. When him and Haaland play together, goals are guaranteed.

He was fantastic!

Disappointed that he signed an extension. Would have him over Haaland as our first choice target to replace Benzema. Haaland looks like a guy who will wait for opportunities to present itself but at Real we need someone more proactive. I don't think Haaland can drift wide for meaningful lengths of the game or could score a goal like Alvarez did in the WC Semifinal. That goal was all about 'fight' and that's what we need long term.

That goal was about pure dumb luck.

The daft thing is, he’d be well on track for being our 2nd or 3rd top scorer this time last year. And he’s maybe played half the number of minutes available to him.

Easy to overlook what a strong first season it’s been.

Got a feeling he’s going to be banging goals in for us for many many years to come and build a bit of a legacy.

Love the kid. So much fight from him, must be a nightmare to play against

Well become a better overall player than Aguero if he has a bit of luck on his side.

I totally agree mate.

He's a superb player, he always seems to be around the ball and he knows how to finish. A lovely goal from him today.

He’s got everything and I know Haaland may be hindering his game time but it’s also letting him going about his business without any real pressure.

He’s such a lethal finisher but also recognises the kind of passes he’d like as a striker and gives them to Haaland (first goal). I bet Erling loves playing alongside him.

I didn’t mind Jesus going because he’s not a clinical striker - not sure he ever will be despite his strengths - but even more buzzing that we’ve replaced him with somebody who matches his work ethic as well as having a real end product.

Very good today.
