Wait is over: Julián Alvarez in Atlético de Madrid’s history books

The Argentine scored his first goal for Atlético yesterday, a goal long awaited by all the club's fans.

Yesterday, Julián Alvarez opened his scoring account with Atlético de Madrid after five games in which the Argentinean was desperate to score a goal for the red-and-white team without much luck. 'The Spider' finally scored at the Metropolitano and unleashed the euphoria of a fan base that has been devoted to the youngster from Cachín since his signing for the Colchoneros was announced. Hoping that this goal will be the first of many, both Julián and the fans want to continue celebrating together throughout this exciting season and in the coming years.

The first of many

Julián came to Atlético with the hope and desire to succeed in a team that bet on him by signing him and under the orders of a coach he deeply admires. Diego Pablo Simeone , in turn, is delighted with his new pupil, from whom he hopes to be able to bring out all his potential during the years they work together at Atlético de Madrid . Both aim to form a perfect communion to bring joy to the fans and return the club to the elite of Spanish and European football this year and in the years to come.

The Argentinean has struggled to make his debut as a goalscorer for the Colchoneros, but he has finally been rewarded with a goal, a goal that will go down in the club's history in the final minutes. Julián put the finishing touch to a match in which Atlético de Madrid controlled the game and played brilliantly from start to finish. Pending the possibility of continuing this good dynamic in the challenges they have ahead and seeing more goals from Julián soon, the Colchoneros are beginning to get excited about this campaign.

A year that promises

The 24/25 season is destined to be one of those remembered in the annals of the history of the Atlético de Madrid club for many reasons. The return of the legitimate crest, the signings and a tune in every game that had not been seen for years make this season a campaign that aspires to be historic for the team. With Julián being the most notable signing of a brilliant transfer window for the Madrid team, 'La Araña' already knows what it is to sting in front of his new fans.

The wait is over

The new Atlético striker has ended his streak without scoring in brilliant fashion and at a good moment for the team, given the great form it is going through. The Argentine was stuck in a rut, as happens to many forwards, but he knows that from now on things will start to flow more than ever. Working tirelessly to make it so, Julián Alvarez is already where everyone wanted to see him and he plans to continue to add to his legend at Atlético de Madrid in the coming days.
