Julian Alvarez scored a superb goal to save Manchester City

Manchester City’s striker Julian Alvarez played a key role in his team’s 1-3 win against RB Leipzig as he was again the best player on the pitch for the Citizen in a Champions League game, scoring a goal and giving an assist in only ten minutes on the pitch after joining the clash from the bench replacing Phil Foden at the 79th minute.

The Citizen, who come from getting two defeats in a row against Newcastle and Wolverhampton, had the goal of returning to the winning path against the German team, who represents a great menace for the interest of the Sky Blues in their group, as one of the main ambitions for the Pep Guardiola’s team would be advancing until the final in the competition, once they have lost the Community Shield and they had been dumped out from the Carabao Cup.

In this sense, Julian Alvarez was the savior of the Citizen after coming from the bench to replace Foden, and he only lasted five minutes in leading his team to the victory with a great goal in a wonderful play started by Doku, who would be his partner in crime to save the Citizen and score two goals to give the Citizen an important victory to become the leader of the group in the Champions League.

Both players combined at the 84th minute for the first time, and Doku left the ball to Julian in the front of the box, where Julian, scarcely without room, controlled and sent the ball to the far post scoring the first net for the visitors, who at the 92nd minute would return to repeat the combination, this time with Julian assisting for Doku to finish a counter attack with the definitive 1-3 for the Citizen.
