Julián Álvarez announced himself to the world at the 2022 World Cup, scoring four goals and proving he was far more than Lautaro Martínez's understudy. His time at Manchester City under Pep Guardiola refined his movement and pressing into something elite, and his €75 million move to Atlético Madrid in 2024 gave him the central role he'd earned. Compact, relentless, and technically sharp, he presses from the front with purpose and finds pockets of space instinctively. At 26, he is entering his prime and arrives at this World Cup as one of Argentina's most dangerous and complete attacking weapons.
