‘What a moment for Alvarez’

Imagine what it [his partnership with Lionel Messi] means for Julian Alvarez, when he looks at that picture and thinks ‘that was 10 years ago and now I am playing with the best player in the world at a World Cup’.

What a moment for Julian.

He looks so mature and I am so pleased in the way he has been playing. He was on the bench, Erling Haaland was playing more games and he was always waiting for that chance.

I saw Pep [Guardiola] during pre-season in the USA and I asked him about Julian and he said ‘I am so happy with him, he is an incredible guy and works really hard’.

In this World Cup he did not start in the first game, but then the manager gave him a chance and he took it really well. Now he has scored four goals and was one of the best players on the field in the semi-final. Well done for him.
