The world champion striker made history for Guardiola’s side, who suffered a defeat against Red Star.
Julián Álvarez welcomes the start of the 2023-2024 season. The Argentine world champion forms a more than interesting duo with Erling Haaland and stands out with his assists in the Premier League. Already an established figure in Guardiola’s new plan, Araña turned the game around for Manchester City in their Champions League debut against Red Star. He scored five goals and two assists in eleven games in this competition.
