They lost 1-0.

Did he score?

no

Match started quite well but some poor defending saw River concede a penalty and they seemed to lose their way. Alvarez ran about a lot but didn't get too involved playing as a 2nd striker. The return leg next week should be his last game for them. Early hours of Thursday morning again with a 01:30 kick-off.

no, he still has a league game mid week and then the second leg on the 7th (1:30am UK time) and then he’s ours. announcement/unveiling probably on the 8th.

Ah I forgot about the 2nd leg. Wishful thinking on my part!

Came off the bench and played 30mins in a 3-2 defeat in his last league game last night. Scared a late consolation:



Didn't watch it last night as a few players were left out of the starting XI due to the 2nd leg of the Copa Libertadores in midweek.

Everybody sleeping on this kid because of Erling and maybe rightly so. But fuck me I reckon hes our new Sergio. As hyped for him as I am for Erling.

I've never looked more forward to the new season. Our football is going to be absolute fucking porn.

Yeah agreed, under the radar this kid because of all the Haaland hype, hopefully he's gonna be a cracker

 

[JRockBlues]

Kick off in just over 20 mins for his last game for River...

 

[Lucidinho]

Will he have an announcement video? Assuming that would be in the next 3 days as City are presenting the new lads on the 10th.
