Since arriving at Manchester City, Julian Alvarez has flown under the radar. The 22-year-old's seven goals and two assists in 20 appearances for City have been overshadowed by Erling Haaland's super-human statistics. But, if you look at his stats closely, Alvarez's achievements should not and cannot be understated.
So far, particularly in the Premier League, Alvarez has had to settle for most of his appearances being off the bench. When trusted in the latter stages of the Champions League group stages though, he has not let Pep Guardiola down.
It is clear to see why so many comparisons have been made between him and Sergio Aguero. Their turn of pace and their striker's instincts are almost identical.
