Pep Guardiola, Manchester City coach, is aware of the depth of the squad he has, and therefore plans to use all players as much as possible, to give rotation, avoid muscle fatigue and keep everyone motivated. Argentinian Julián Álvarez is the player who is benefiting the most from the rotation.

Julian Alvarez has already made his debut in the UEFA Champions League, although he has been on the substitutes' bench every time. This afternoon, Josep Guardiola gave him an incredible chance to start alongside Erling Haaland in attack and he did not disappoint, showing the world what he is capable of.

Manchester City hosted Copenhagen for the third matchday of the Champions League group stage and to tell the truth, they started to kill the story quickly thanks to Haaland's goals after 7 and 32 minutes of play. Shortly before the break it was 3-0 thanks to a goal against by Khocholava and at the start of the second half, the fourth goal was scored by Riyad Karim Mahrez from the penalty spot.

Then it was Alvarez's turn, who in the 76th minute of the second half received the cross from the back and Mahrez's pass to enter the middle of the area and convert with a first touch. A pass into the net to celebrate his first goal in the Champions League. A historic and unforgettable day for the former River striker.

Why is the goal historic?

With his goal, the former River Plate man became the 100th Argentinian player in the history of the 100th player in the history of European competition to hit the back of the net. A real honor for someone so young, who only four months ago was at River and could not have imagined he was going through this moment. He will surely put Lautaro Martinez in trouble if he continues like this.
