Julián Álvarez is experiencing a spectacular moment at Atlético de Madrid. Since his arrival, the Argentine forward has become a key piece in Cholo Simeone's scheme, contributing goals, sacrifice, and quality in the red-and-white attack. However, before landing at the Metropolitano, he had an emotional farewell with Pep Guardiola, who didn't hesitate to acknowledge his dedication and professionalism at Manchester City.
A Farewell Full of Respect and Admiration
"My last conversations with Pep were of pure gratitude, he told me: 'Thank you for everything you gave us in these two years. So many titles and you never caused problems, never created conflicts in the club. You always gave your best.'," the forward stated.
These words reflect the mark the Argentine left in the citizen locker room, where, despite the tough competition with Haaland, he always replied with goals and sacrifice when needed. Now, at Atlético, he is proving that he has everything to be an absolute reference.
