Julián Álvarez revolutionizes the game with two goals in 6 minutes

Manchester City is facing Burnley on Matchday 22 against a former player of theirs, Vincent Kompany. The Clarets are not having their best season going second to last in the league, although it was already a surprise for the club to have been promoted with a much smaller budget than other Championship clubs last year.

The match promised to be led and monopolized by the locals, which in this case are those of Manchester, as already happened in the first leg, on matchday 1, where the cityzen club won by 3 goals against none of the rivals. Therefore, Pep could reserve a player, and he came out without Haaland, Rubén Dias, Bernardo Silva or Grealish, but that has not changed the expected result of the game.

For Manchester's Argentine forward, 6 minutes and two plays were enough to put the club ahead, and even though it was a Mancunian recital, they were not able to score, until in the 16th minute, Matheus Nunes was able of hunting for a ball filtered by the right side, which in a back pass has been rejected and fell at his feet again. After the rebound, Julián, very clever, knew how to make the necessary space in the area for Matheus' second cross to reach his head and score the first of the club's goals in this match.

A more or less expected goal that after the celebration has only served to give Pep's team more desire to continue the game, since after the center kick, Foden was already pressing the serve, and six minutes later they managed to force a foul on a few meters from the area. This time De Bruyne did not want to shoot directly and preferred to use strategy in one of those plays that make the coaches and strategists on the bench proud, and in a very precise low pass, the defense could not do anything to stop Julián who for Second time, he found himself alone against the goalkeeper and finished at will to the lower left corner of the goal.

Haaland's injury and Julián's incredible growth are making him play many more minutes than last season, and this year he has not missed a single Premier League match, among other competitions. This means he has played more than 30 games with the club at this point in the season and there are still half and the most important games of the playoffs left.

The data supports this young striker, and in those 31 games he has played, he has already managed to score 15 goals and give 10 assists so far, during the Burnley half-time, a game where he could still score another goal. And continuing with the double that he has, it is already the third game this season, and third competition where he equals this mark of two goals in the same game.
