Alvarez #Alvarez

Julian Alvarez starred for Argentina as they beat Croatia 3-0 to reach the World Cup final.

  • Alvarez has scored four goals at World Cup 2022, becoming only the second Argentina player to score four goals at a single edition of the World Cup while aged 22 or under after Gonzalo Higuaín in 2010 (4 goals).

  • Alvarez (22y-316d) was the youngest player to score multiple goals in a World Cup semi-final since Pelé (17y-244d) netted a hat-trick in Brazil’s 5-2 win against France in 1958.

  • Alvarez has scored seven goals in eight starts for Argentina.

  • So what will happen when he returns to Manchester City? Is the young striker becoming more than an Erling Haaland understudy? Tell us here
