Champions League: Manchester City is rolling, Real Madrid ekes into the quarters

Assist in derby Alvarez assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Manchester United.

Impact Alvarez notched his second assist in his last three appearances Sunday, finding Phil Foden in the 80th minute to give City a 2-1 lead. The Argentine attacker now has 16 goal contributions in league play this season, having eight goals and assists each. He seems to have fallen out of favor lately, being used as a substitute over the club's past two matches, seemingly having lost his spot after Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland returned to full fitness from their injuries. However, this may just be a case of the classic Pep Guardiola rotation, as Alvarez is still the only player on the team to feature in every league match this season.

Notches assist Alvarez assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Tuesday's 1-0 victory against Brentford.

Impact Alvarez saw his first assist in eight appearances Tuesday, finding Erling Haaland in the 71st minute for the only goal of the match. This now gives Alvarez 15 goal contributions in league play this season, already having 10 more than the last campaign. He continues to be one of the club's most valuable assets when moving forward and should be expected to remain in a starting role from here on out, being the only player to have started in every league match this season for City.

Impact Alvarez was decent in his time on the pitch Saturday, notching five shots, four chances created and two crosses in his 64 minutes of play before being substituted off the field. This is now the Argentine's third straight match without a goal contribution, only going that long since his last one other time this season. He will now look to change that in their next contest against Brentford, trying to add to his 10-goal contributions in league play this campaign.

Leads match in crosses Alvarez recorded two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (three accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton.

Impact Alvarez registered another contest where he led the team in crosses, whipping in seven, with most of those coming from his seven corner kicks. He has now gone two matches since his last goal contribution, hoping to avoid that fate in his next match, as three games without a goal contribution would match his longest streak of the season. He once again continued in a central midfielder role, notching four chances created, seven crosses and seven shots since taking over that spot two contests ago.

Five shots in win Alvarez generated five shots (five on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 3-1 win versus Brentford.

Impact Alvarez found numerous opportunities on goal despite not scoring Monday, firing in five shots during the win. Outside of that, the Argentine was kept relatively quiet, only adding on another chance created, one interception and a clearance. He did possibly find a new position on the field with Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland both on the pitch together for the first time this season, lining up as a central midfielder despite only playing as a forward and attacking midfielder in previous contests this campaign.

Nets brace Alvarez scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Burnley.

Impact Alvarez recorded his first Premier League brace of the season Wednesday, finding the net just six minutes apart after scoring in the 16th minute off of a Matheus Nunes assist and again in the 22nd off of a Kevin De Bruyne assist. The Argentine now has 14 goal contributions in League play this season, notching eight goals and six assists. He will hope to still maintain a normal role within the squad moving forward, as with De Bruyne and Erling Haaland both back in the side, his minutes may start to dwindle after being a regular starter all season.

Impact Alvarez was not able to get on the scoresheet for the third match in a row Saturday but still managed to put on another masterclass in place of the injured Erling Haaland (foot), notching an immaculate six shots, five crosses and four chances created in the attack. He also had another contest with an immense amount of corner kicks, taking 10 in the win, not only leading the team in that stat but also the league with his 94. The Argentinian's role may start to be hindered once Erling Haaland returns, as Kevin De Bruyne also made his return to play Saturday, which will most likely take starting time away from Alaverz, who was serving as an attacking midfielder while De Bruyne was out and is now back in his normal forward position that Haaland is out. However, until then, expect Alvarez to continue his excellence, as he has been one of the most lethal players in the Premier League while going slightly under the radar.

The former now has three assists across his last five Premier League appearances.

Scores off bench Alvarez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against RB Leipzig.

Impact Alvarez came off the bench and found the back of the net during Tuesday's comeback win. It was an impressive showing from the Argentine star, who is growing into his role as one of the best in the world this season. He may not get the plaudits of Erling Haaland or Kevin de Bruyne but make no mistake, Alvarez is an elite option in all formats and against all opponents.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominate in draw Alvarez assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 4-4 draw against Chelsea.

Battling fitness issues Alvarez played 18 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's match against Young Boys because "he could not play 90 minutes," according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Impact Alvarez had a ton of minutes on his legs the first couple months of the season, including with Argentina over the international breaks. Because of that, he's seen his time dwindle a bit, coming off the bench in each of the last two UCL contests in addition to only going 68 minutes in the loss to Arsenal. For the upcoming Manchester derby, he seems like an option to be subbed off early, though he should still be in play for at least 80 or so minutes.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores opening goal Alvarez scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Brighton.

The Argentinian now has four goals in the Premier League this season, bringing his overall total of goal contributions to seven. He has only not started one match and should continue to be a normal starter in the midfield with Kevin De Bruyne still injured.
