Julian Álvarez saw the fans turning on him and Atlético’s board treating him like dirt, so he took it personally and brought that frustration onto the pitch.
He came on and basically walked around like Atlético were playing with 9 men instead of 10. The same Álvarez who used to be the hardest-working player on the pitch — pressing, tracking back, making runs, attacking — barely touched the ball twice in 30 minutes.
It’s like: “You’re the ones forcing me to stay? Fine, then deal with the version of me you’ve created.”
Stand your ground, Julian. All the support. 👏🏻❤️
🚨FERNANDO TORRES ON THE JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ & ATLÉTICO MADRID SAGA:
“I will always respect Atlético Madrid, but I also understand Julián’s position. If a player feels his future lies somewhere else and he has a dream he wants to pursue, he should have the courage to follow it.
“Julián has given everything to this club. He has worked, fought and represented Atlético with great professionalism. If Barcelona is the dream he wants to chase, I would tell him to go for it. Football careers are short, and you don’t get many opportunities to make decisions that can change your life.
“Atlético will always be bigger than any individual, but that doesn’t mean we should stand in the way of a player trying to fulfil his ambitions. If Julián truly believes Barcelona is the right next step for him, he deserves to be heard and respected.
“I support Julián. Whatever happens, I hope the situation is resolved respectfully because he deserves to choose his own future.”
¿Hay algun culer aun q pueda pedir a Julián q haga más por venir?
ESTE CHICO LO ESTÁN INSULTANDO POR QUERE VENIR AL BARÇA!!!!
ES MÁS CULER QUE MUCHOS!!!!!
Rt y ayudemos y vamos a darle cariño desde Barcelona a JULIÁN !!!!
🕷️💙❤️🕷️
🚨🚨ULTIMA HORA🚨🚨
⛔La liga SE HARTA DE LAS AYUDAS AL REAL MADRID
💥Manolo González (entrenador Espanyol)
🔥Hice cambios,y quité los jugadores con amarilla PORQUE NO ME FIABA DEL ARBITRAJE CON EL REAL MADRID
💣BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM
Unbelievable what Vini Jr. gets away with in La Liga.
On a yellow card, referee has a perfect view of the play, and Vini dives in the box trying to get a penalty and is claiming for it.
How that isn’t a second yellow, makes no sense.
Funny how they talk about Negreira now, but these were Madrid fans after Messi knocked them out of the CL:
“Ronaldo shows up against Villarreal and Betis, but against Barcelona, nothing. He can go to hell.”
“Messi just beat us single-handedly.”
Real Madrid as a club has no intrinsic value. No identity, no soul, no nothing. Their entire existence is propped up by CLs stolen through referees, politics, and pure institutional robbery. Strip away those stolen CLs and what’s left? A hollow, plastic franchise with nothing of it’s own.
Barça doesn’t need a single trophy to be the most valuable club in football. Our worth is in the idea, the culture, the history, the way we play. With or without a single piece of metal. So these pictures explain it perfectly: Konaté needs metal to prop up his club, Rodri only needs to showcase the badge.
We are not the same. We will never be mates. 👍
Will Barça ever take a stance that we will never allow any of our players joining these cunts ever again? We let David Villa join them for €5M, Suárez for free, Depay for €3M, and gave back Griezmann for a bag of chips. Barça literally helped these parasites win their only two league titles this entire century. And now one of their own players WANTS to come to Barça, and somehow it’s painted as we are the villains?
Hate them to my fucking bones.
The kind of things Argentine players have been banned and fined for, Real Madrid players like Rudiger, Bellingham and Vinicius do every other week. Somehow, there are never any consequences. The double standards are unreal
Une carrière c’est pas juste 2 bonnes saisons ou t’a un collectif rodé avec une baisse de niveau des cadors.
Villa à joué dans le prime du football avec des légendes. Ce mec a performé dans tous ces clubs et en sélection. Respectez le football.
