To suggest that Julian Alvarez represents a secret weapon for Manchester City would be wrong. But when a squad includes Erling Haaland, some others can fly under the radar.
Especially in attack. As Haaland plundered all records during an unfathomably strong debut season, Alvarez just plugged away. He waited for his chances, often sat on the bench.
The Argentine was involved in the majority of matches as they strode to a Treble, making a surprising 49 appearances, yet his minutes were way down on Haaland’s. It’s hard to truly shine with 20 minutes here or half an hour there.
