The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ended with Argentina’s victory, and although Messi won the tournament’s best player award with seven goals and three assists in seven games, the country’s victory would not have been possible without Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez.

Alvarez started the first match against Saudi Arabia, a 1-2 loss, on the bench, but after starting in the third group stage match against Poland, he remained in the starting lineup until the final, scoring four goals and assisting one. Not only was Alvarez a decisive scorer when he had the chance, but his off-the-ball quality made him a great influence on Messi, making Alvarez a perfect partner for the “Son of God”.

Alvarez made his first appearance at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium since the tournament. Supporters welcomed Alvarez with applause as he made his triumphant return, carrying his gold medal.

Yasuo Kurashiki, ABEMA’s play-by-play announcer, was excited when Alvarez appeared on stage, saying, “He’s wearing his gold medal! He was so excited. He was just about to welcome her back. Harland also said, ‘I’ll give you a big hug when I get back,’ and he actually did it on social media,” he said, referring to his interaction with Harland, who is also a competitor for the same position.

ABEMA viewers also said, “Alvarez is a killer!” Congratulations to Alvarez,” “Alvarez was dedicated,” and “Too cool.” They were all excited about the world champion’s triumphant return.

In the match against Everton, Alvarez started in the 87th minute because he had just arrived at the club. The fans and supporters will be watching to see what he can do.
