Champions League: New milestone as Alvarez surpasses Messi

Champions League: New milestone as Alvarez surpasses Messi

Last night, Atletico Madrid missed their chance and could only manage a draw against Arsenal at the Metropolitano (1-1).

It was a Champions League semifinal that was calmer for the fans than the one between PSG and Bayern Munich, but not for Julian Alvarez.

Indeed, the Argentine striker on Diego Simeone’s squad was the one who equalized for his team. Moreover, the forward set a fantastic record during the match.

He became the fastest South American in Champions League history to score 25 goals in 41 matches, beating Lionel Messi’s record of 25 goals in 42 games.

A performance that already places him among the greats, and this with a team that is not even a favorite to win the title.
