Ruben Dias says the whole Manchester City squad know how important Julian Alvarez's goal against Sevilla can be for the striker.
Alvarez has had to play in the shadow of Erling Haaland so far this season, waiting for his opportunity and often being limited to substitute appearances, or starts in less important games. With Haaland out injured, Alvarez has started the last three games, but found chances at a premium against Borussia Dortmund and Leicester.
It felt like the Sevilla game would follow the same patten in a tight first half, but some second-half reinforcements opened up the space for him and he assisted two and scored another in City's 3-1 comeback win.
