Julián Álvarez scored for Manchester City in their 3-1 loss vs. Liverpool in the Community Shield.
The 22-year-old was substituted on in the second half in replacement of Riyad Mahrez, and ten minutes later he went on to score the only goal of the game for the Citizens. With this, the former River Plate man scored his first goal with his new team, in the first official game of the season for Manchester City.
On Sunday, August 7, Manchester City will do their Premier League debut against West Ham.

Alvarez played great while he was in. I wish I would have saw the whole game to see how he compared with grealish and mayherz but Twitter is raving the threat once Boden and Alvarez came on. I don’t think he’ll be a starter yet but hopefully soon! Not bc of talent but seniority and price tag of the other two. Good news about pep, he’ll play the better player
Alvarez has a great chance to increase xG with Grealish getting chopped down often and Mahrez struggling to connect with Haaland.
This is a good start. In today’s cut throat competition you cannot take 15 chances to score first goal. He has to now keep up the level consistently. I have a feeling he will do well. Good luck!!
Well done Alvarez, he will compete with Grealish to start in starting XI. He will be grow under Pep
Great start for Julian Jose Lopez scored his first goal for palmeiras too
