Many Barcelona fans were left impressed by Julian Alvarez as Argentina beat Australia in the World Cup last 16.
The forward scored a great goal that was his 2nd at this World Cup already.
Interestingly, Alvarez once confessed that he is a supporter of River Plate... and Barcelona.
💭 Mamoon (Twitter): "Julian Alvarez was a fan of Barca and was keen to sign for us, but Barca board missed him too. What a shame!"
💭 Jack (Twitter): "I’ll always be happy and proud that Lewandowski joined Barcelona, but I still can't believe the Barca board didn’t scout Julian Alvarez more seriously."
💭 bambovirgo (Twitter): "It's so unfair that Julian Alvarez is just a sub to Haaland in Man City… Go to Barca plz."
💭 __33mo (Twitter): "Alvarez is the future and Pep will make him shine. Like I always said, he's the type of player Barca needs; once Pep is done developing him, he should come home."
Overall, the 22-year-old has scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists in official matches this season.
