Alvarez continued his excellent form, scoring his 11th goal of the 2024/25 season in all competitions to surpass Mbappe's tally for Real Madrid.
A difficult start to La Liga has not diminished Alvarez's potential. Atletico Madrid beat home side Caserno 3-1 in the second round of the Copa del Rey at Prince Felipe Stadium thanks to Alvarez's winning goal in the 90th +5 minute.
The Argentine striker came off the bench in the second half to not only help Atletico avoid an embarrassing defeat but also cement his own place in the team. Alvarez's recent form has certainly been impressive. In the last three games, he has scored four goals and provided one assist.
In particular, in the games against Sparta Prague (Champions League) and Real Valladolid (La Liga), Alvarez was named "Man of the Match" by WhoScored. It proves that Atletico made the right choice by spending heavily to bring him back from Manchester City.
From a much-questioned signing, he gradually established an irreplaceable place in Simeone's tactical system. Even after coming off the bench against Caserno, Alvarez quickly showed his quality. Atletico fell behind in the first half and only turned the tide in the 83rd minute through Clemente Lenglet, Adri Perez (own goal) and Alvarez's eventual calm finish.
