  1. Alvarez can force a transfer to Barca and help Yamal win the BallonDor or stay at Atletico and try to win it himself! Look how Rafphina was ghosted in favor of Yamal in the award. Atletico Madrid is his team and with Alamda & Nico he can actually win a major trophy!

    Jr Simeone is a hardworking player but still too raw in final third.

    Garnacho finally has his head in right place and is playing for team instead of trying to score Amad & Hojiland like in United.
