Julian Alvarez has described it as a “privilege” to play alongside Lionel Messi in the Argentina team, saying it puts his own abilities into perspective.
The striker has had to be patient at Manchester City amid Erling Haaland’s stunning form. Alvarez has started just three times in the Premier League but was given the nod in four of City’s six Champions League group matches.
He's repaid Pep Guardiola’s faith by netting seven goals in 20 appearances, three of which have come in the league. The attacker has netted three times in 12 outings for Argentina having made his debut in April 2021.
