gratz pibe, very deserving
Pep calling it correctly.There was a quote/story from Julian Alvarez during the early rounds of the World cup and I can't remember where it came from, but the jist of it went something like this.
Alvarez was sitting quietly in the City locker room, whilst a debate was going on involving the senior Spanish/Belgian/German/Swiss/English & Portugese players talking up their National teams possibilities in the World Cup tournament, when one of the players piped up asking Pep for his opinion.
Pep swiftly pointed towards Julian and said him, his team, Messi.![]()

Pep got it right.. he had to make way for Ruben Dias.
And we had to let others go to make room for Julian Alvarez!
He deserves it. Only competition was Giroud, and he got subbed in the first half.ITV put him in team of the tournament.
Pep really has a sixth sense at times. I still think back to that quote from Alvarez when he said some of the squad were talking about the upcoming World Cup, who would win etc. And Pep interjected to say “do you know who has the best chance?” before pointing to Julian. Fast forward to today and the kid is holding the World Cup aloft.
