Manchester City’s Champions League title defense is underway, and Julian Alvarez is having a poor season.
In their opening match of the group stage, Pep Guardiola’s team defeated Red Star Belgrade 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
City had 22 attempts at scoring in the first half but came up empty-handed.
Osman Bukari, who sprung the offside trap for Red Star, scored against the flow of play just before halftime.
He converted past Ederson.
Alvarez scored a charming little goal to start City’s comeback early in the second half, though.
Ally McCoist, who was commentating for TNT Sports, was very impressed as Alvarez instinctively continued his run and the Norwegian slipped his strike partner in for a fine finish.
The first goal for Man City against Red Star by Julian Alvarez completely floored Ally McCoist.
Alvarez scored a wonderful goal.
Being able to maneuver around the goalkeeper and simply roll the ball into the goal before the defenders could reach the line required exceptional quick thinking.
Actually, it was a little heavy coming from Haaland.
Thus, the Argentinean’s goal was a great accomplishment.
McCoist commented on the replay while watching it back and said, “I cannot wait to see this again.
To get around the goalkeeper, he simply makes one touch and then immediately makes another.
There, brilliant there.
He needs to strike it right away.
Absolutely magical; it’s perfect.
Without a doubt, the finish is brilliant.
The quickness with which his feet moved from his initial touch to his second touch…
When he passes Haaland, he begins to move quite quickly.
However, the swiftness and motion of his feet between the initial touch and the final touch to score the goal add to the beauty of the goal.
Magic.”.
Alvarez then scored from a free kick, which could be considered an own goal by the goalkeeper.
With a stunning passed finish, Rodri then added a third.
In these early weeks of the season, Alvarez has excelled.
He has seriously stepped up in Kevin De Bruyne’s absence, so it makes sense that Pep Guardiola recently said he has turned into an unstoppable force.
