Julian Alvarez reckons playing second fiddle to Erling Haaland can ultimately help make him an even better player.
Alvarez has had to be patient for starts at Manchester City this season, with goal machine Haaland scoring for fun, notching up 22 goals from just 16 appearances. Despite being in Haaland's giant shadow this season, Alvarez has been involved in 16 of City's 18 games, although mainly from the bench, with just five starts.
But the 22-year-old Argentina striker - who has four goals this term - will start against Sevilla on Wednesday night, in the absence of the injured Haaland, with City already through to the last 16 as group winners.
