He shone in Qatar, amazed Messi, now receives an unexpected betrayal from Pep Guardiola
The coach again surrendered at the feet of the captain of the Argentine team
Lionel Messi is the best player in history and Pep Guardiola, his former coach at FC Barcelona, takes every opportunity to surrender at his feet. Within the framework of the FA Cup, the experienced Manchester City strategist praised the world champion, while he did not give the expected role to Julián Álvarez in England.
The manager of the 'Spider' has been criticized for the little prominence that the Argentine national team has on British soil. Faced with pressure, Guardiola gave him the title against Chelsea and Julián showed that he has all the conditions to be indisputable. The Albiceleste striker scored a goal and led the attack in the 4-0 win against Chelsea.
