Former Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta has praised Julian Alvarez for his "brilliant" World Cup campaign with Argentina, as they prepare for their World Cup final against France.
Alvarez has featured in all six of the South American side's matches in Qatar, scoring four goals along the way as he shows his talent on the world's biggest stage. The 22-year-old has been in remarkable form for his country, with Argentina reaching the final for the first time since 2014 - where they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Germany.
They will come up against European opposition once again on Sunday, with Lionel Scaloni's side looking to prevent reigning Champions France from making it back-to-back wins after their triumph in 2018. Lionel Messi has been a driving force for Argentina during the tournament, as the Paris Saint-Germain star leads by example in his bid to get his hands on one of the few trophies missing from his cabinet.
