The Cordovan striker Julian Alvarez is going through his last hours as a River Plate footballer: after playing the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 against Vélez Sarsfield, “Araña” will join the Manchester City Pep Guardiola in exchange for 21 million dollars.
Demanding and 100% competitive, the man born in Calchín on January 31, 2000 will seek to influence the “Millionaire” to reverse the series (in the first leg he fell 1-0) and reach the quarterfinals of the great continental competition, but he will also have the chance to achieve a tremendous record if he converts.
It is that Álvarez is just one goal away from Rafael Santos Borré among the footballers who have scored the most since Marcelo Gallardo he is coach of the Núñez club, back in mid-2014: the Colombian has 55 goals, while Julián is second with one less conquest. Far behind were other strikers like Lucas Alario (41) and Ignacio Scocco (38).
The 22-year-old crack is already in the books after having become the first player in the history of River to celebrate six goals in the same game (against Alianza Lima, in 8-1 on May 25 of this year) , but now you’ll want to say goodbye to this new record. You’ll make it?
