Atletico forward Julian Alvares became the main hero in the derby against Real Madrid on Saturday. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He scored twice in the second half of the game. First, he successfully converted a penalty kick, then scored directly from a free kick.
“What impressed me most about Julian, besides his playing abilities, is his humility. Even though he is a world champion, he plays very actively in every match.
No matter which team he plays against, he always strives to win and works tirelessly,” said Atletico coach Diego Simeone in a post-match interview. Julian Alvares has scored six goals in La Liga this season.
Only Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is ahead of him, having scored eight times. Alvares is proving himself as one of his team's key players and is expected to achieve many successes in the future.
