The strike made it 28 goals since his blockbuster move from Manchester City in the summer, which is the most of any new signing since another South American superstar.

28 - Julián Alvarez has scored 28 goals in 53 appearances this season in all competitions, making him the player with the most goals in his first season with Atlético de Madrid since Radamel Falcao in 2011/12 (36 goals in 50 appearances). Triumphal.
