Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez can use Sergio Aguero's advice to help give Pep Guardiola a selection headache upon his return to Manchester, despite competition from Erling Haaland.
After Alvarez was handed a starting role by Lionel Scaloni for Argentina's final Group C match against Poland on Wednesday night, the 22-year-old took the opportunity with both hands. The City star repaid his manager's faith with a stunning strike, as he superbly controlled the ball, shifted his weight and sent a searing right-footed strike past a helpless Wojciech Szczesny into the far corner.
Pep Guardiola would have no doubt been delighted for his new signing, with the Catalan manager hoping he can continue his run of form upon his return to the Etihad later this month. The arrival of Haaland has meant that competition for a starting role at the Etihad Stadium has been severe, with the Norwegian scoring at an unprecedented rate both in the Premier League and Champions League.
