Viewers of Sunday’s La Liga meeting between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid have taken collective aim at Rojiblancos star Julián Alvarez. This comes owing to the level of the Argentine’s performance.
Frontman Alvarez was for his part in from the off this evening, as Atlético welcomed title rivals Barcelona to the Metropolitano.
When all was said and done, the visitors emerged on the right side of the result, recovering from an early goal down courtesy of a Fermín López brace.

This included an early one-on-one, which saw the former Manchester City man foiled by Joan García.
Post-match, many were in turn quick to draw attention to the summer transfer speculation linking Alvarez with a move to Barcelona, going as far as to label the 26-year-old a ‘double agent’:
