When Atlético Madrid committed £82m in the summer of 2024 to sign Julián Alvarez from Manchester City, there was a collective raising of eyebrows across Europe.

At the Etihad, Alvarez had been seen, somewhat reductively, as Erling Haaland’s backup.

He was viewed as a high-functioning deputy whose minutes were contingent on the Norwegian’s availability, but was also tactically malleable to coexist with him.

The consensus at the time saw City as the winners and Atlético as indulgent spenders who paid a premium for a player whose potential was yet to be recognised.

Now, 12 months on, that narrative looks different.

Alvarez has evolved from an expensive rotation piece to the central protagonist in Diego Simeone’s team.

He has combined the industriousness that endeared him to Pep Guardiola with a sharper, more autonomous final third profile.

He has six goals and one assist in his first eight La Liga matches, and he has begun the campaign as one of the league’s most in-form forwards, if not one of the most complete strikers in Europe on current evidence.

This analysis will examine Alvarez’s technical and tactical strengths and the ways in which he has been assimilated into Diego Simeone’s new attacking look.

A Copa night in every sense of the word opened the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores.

The Maracanã witnessed the first leg between Filipe Luís’s Flamengo and Gustavo Costas’s Racing Club, two teams with very different paradigms and playing approaches, further contrasted by the context and the stage itself.

Although the final score (1–0) might suggest a tight contest, the match was intense, attractive, and full of tactical richness.

The home side, led by an inspired Jorge Carrascal, sought to impose their dominance through possession and initiative.

At the same time, Racing opted for a compact, disciplined mid-to-low block that, at times, managed to frustrate the Brazilians’ offensive attempts.

With Pedro isolated as the central reference, it was the attacking midfielders and full-backs who ended up making the difference for Flamengo in attack.

In contrast, the Argentine side, still unable to find a midfielder capable of adding fluency to their circulation (a role once filled by Juan Fernando Quintero), relied on collective resistance and tactical order.

Costas has built a hard-working, selfless team that came close to taking a more favourable result back to Avellaneda.

In this article, we’ll analyse in detail some of the key aspects that defined the match: Flamengo’s constant search through their full-backs, and Racing’s solid mid-block that conditioned much of the game’s flow.
