Julian Alvarez is slowly forcing his way into carving out a permanent place for himself in the Manchester City starting lineup. The Argentine forward arrived at the club knowing that he faces competition from a certain goal machine in Erling Haaland for the centre-forward role. However, Alvarez is not one to back down from challenges – something he quite clearly showed at the Qatar World Cup. Even though he was taken to Qatar as a backup to Lautaro Martinez, the 23-year-old forward managed to bulldoze his way into Lionel Scaloni’s plans and managed to bench the Inter Milan star.
