Spain's As reported on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time) 'Antoine Griezmann and Álvarez fit brilliantly in the Atletico Madrid offensive team'
As said 'Griezmann found a partner who understood the same way of football as Alvarez, had the talent to move between the lines, and would be a headache for the defense. Álvarez's signing is a great joy for Atletico. It's a fantastic recruit for fans in every way, an accomplished challenge, a new weapon for Diego Simeone, and an ideal partner for Griezmann. He has made only 21 appearances, but I can assume that he will already rise to stardom as Griezmann's best partner and his successor.

Alvarez turned expectations into reality. Alvarez, who started only 23 of his 49 games in the 2022-2023 season, started his first season as a super serve with a whopping 17 goals. The previous season showed more performance. He contributed to Manchester City's attack by playing as an all-weather resource in the offensive camp, not just a super serve. Although he often played as a second top and winger, not his main position, he played in 54 games and scored 19 goals and 13 assists, recording a tremendous record with 31 offensive points.
Alvarez won the European Champions League in Manchester City and achieved a treble, and also won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for the Argentine national team. At the age of 23, he has already won all the important trophies to fill in the trophy display case.
However, despite his performance, it is not easy for Alvarez to play as the main striker in the next season. Manchester City had a wall too high for Álvarez to be the main player. It's Elling Holan. Because of Holan's presence in scoring power, Alvarez has no choice but to stay in the backup at his original position, Striker.

Some said it was an excessive investment, but Alvarez directly proves that Atletico's choice was good. Alvarez has been on pace to score career-high points with 10 goals and two assists in 21 games this season after going through some adjustment periods early in the season. On the other hand, Manchester City, which sent Álvarez, is having its worst period since Pep Guardiola's appointment, as Kevin DeBrawiner and Rodri have been out due to injuries this season.
As says 'Albares continues to grow. He is a player with aura and weight. Atletico have already found the right clothes for the freshman, he said, praising Atletico's choice.
