Former Argentina striker Maxi Lopez believes Julian Alvarez made a mistake joining Atletico Madrid and should have signed for Barcelona instead. The ex-Catania star claimed broken promises in the Spanish capital are hindering the forward, suggesting a move to Catalonia would have elevated his game to another level.
Diego Simeone has offered his full support to Julian Alvarez after the Argentine striker issued a public apology to the Atletico Madrid faithful. The forward used a post-match interview to address the friction caused by his previous comments regarding a potential move to Barcelona.
