Julian Alvarez on the Brink of Completing His Football Collection

At just 24 years old, Julian Alvarez is on the brink of effectively ‘completing’ his football career achievements. The talented Argentine forward has a golden opportunity in front of him at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics.

Just under two years ago, Alvarez was part of the Argentina squad that brought home the trophy from Qatar, winning the 2022 World Cup. Shortly after that, he made an impressive debut with Manchester City, helping the team secure a treble, which includes the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League.

This remarkable feat made him the first player to become a world champion and a domestic treble winner in the same season. Furthermore, he is also a Copa America and Finalissima champion, leaving little left for him to achieve before he can truly say he has won it all in football.

Argentina has a history of success at the Olympics, having won gold twice before, and they have a proven leader in charge. The coach, Mascherano, is one of the two-time gold medallists from Argentina, and he’s eager to guide his team to another victory in Paris.

However, things didn’t start smoothly for the Argentinian team. They faced a tough opening match against Morocco and ended up losing 2-1 in a dramatic and controversial fashion. In a surprising turn, a last-minute equalizer was disallowed, leading to a lengthy interruption in the match.

With that loss behind them, Argentina knew they needed to secure a win against Iraq. Fortunately, Alvarez stepped up, helping the team achieve a comfortable 3-1 victory. His two assists were crucial to the win, and he demonstrated his leadership on the field, reassuring his teammates and fans alike.

With just one more game left against Ukraine on July 30, Alvarez’s chance to add an Olympic gold medal to his collection is within reach. Winning this medal would be incredibly special, as it would complete the last part of his international football achievements.
