Julián Álvarez scored a hat-trick for Patronato and was the great figure in the Monumental. The striker had an incredible performance and continues to show why he was signed by Manchester City.
We review who are the five top scorers in Marcelo Gallardo’s era as River coach.
Gonzalo Martínez played 163 games for River and got into the hearts of the fans. He went from minor to major and everyone remembers his historic goal against Boca at the Santiago Bernabéu. Pity left its mark and is in fifth position with 35 goals.
Ignacio Scocco was one of Marcelo Gallardo’s weaknesses and was highly sought after by the coach in various transfer markets. The striker ended up arriving and was very important. He scored 38 goals in 90 games and showed all his talent. The injuries did not accompany him and caused him to not be able to maintain his level.
Julián Álvarez became in 2021 the greatest figure of River and Argentine football. His level is sensational and he is already the third top scorer in the cycle. To understand his incredible numbers, you have to think that his career changed in the last tournament. He has scored 20 goals in the last 17 games and has scored a total of 38 in 98 games for the club. Unstoppable.
Lucas Alario put on the shirt and responded in an excellent way. He was key to winning the 2015 Libertadores and had the pleasure of scoring the 1-0 against Tigres. Although he did not go in the best way, he was one of the great scorers in this cycle and that is why people value him. 41 goals in 82 games (one goal every two games).
The top scorer is Rafael Santos Borré. The Colombian scored 55 goals in 149 games. A player who always paid the coach and who has the record of being the one who scored the most goals.
