Julián Álvarez scored a free kick goal for Atletico Madrid in their 2-1 loss against Espanyol.
Álvarez had the first goal of the new season for Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone’s team were awarded a free kick and it was the Argentine who took it.
He would curl the ball over the wall and beat the goalkeeper to give Atletico Madrid the 1-0 lead. Espanyol would score twice to get the win.
Thiago Almada and Giuliano Simeone would also start for Atletico Madrid.
Alvarez was very good, also very unlucky to hit the post which would have sealed the game for Atletico! Almada was okay, understandable that it was his first game but J.Simeone didn’t have a good game. Made several mistakes and his decision making and finishing reminded of Garnacho. Is he even ready to be a starter for Atletico?
