Julián Álvarez scores for Manchester City, will play Inter in Champions League final

Julián Álvarez scored for Manchester City as they will play Inter in the Champions League final.

Álvarez did just like his Argentine number 9 team mate Lautaro Martinez a day earlier, that is to say score in the semi finals of the Champions League. He was brought on as a substitute with less than a minute in regular time as City were leading 3-0 and would score to make it 4-0 for City.

It will be a battle of the Argentine number 9’s in the Champions League final and we are guaranteed not only an Argentine to lift the trophy but an Argentine World Cup winner. For the first time since Willy Caballero did it in 2021 with Chelsea, an Argentine will win the Champions League.

For Inter, it’s Lautaro Martinez, Joaquín Correa and Valentín Carboni. In Carboni’s case, he is presently with the Argentina U20 team for the U20 World Cup. Manchester City have Julián Álvarez and Máximo Perrone with Perrone also with the Argentina U20 team.

The final will take place on June 10 in Istanbul.

Lautaro Martínez scores for Inter, qualifies for Champions League final

Lautaro Martínez scored for Inter in their 1-0 win vs. AC Milan as he helped them qualify for the Champions League final.

Martínez scored the only goal of the match in Inter’s second leg against AC Milan in the semi finals. That goal, which made it 3-0 on aggregate, helped qualified Inter to the final of the Champions League.

The World Cup winner started the semi final match and with the score at 0-0, he received the ball inside the penalty area and a left footed effort would beat the goalkeeper and he would score.

He has now scored three goals in the Champions League this season. His first against FC Barcelona in the group, his second against Benfica in the quarter finals and now in the semi finals.

Alejandro Garnacho’s agent speaks on Argentina national team decision

Alejandro Garnacho’s agent, Quique de Lucas, spoke about Garnacho’s decision to play with the Argentina ntaional team.

Garnacho first represented Spain at youth level but has since gone on to play for the Argentina U20 national team and has trained with the senior team. The Argentine is expected to be called up to the senior national team for the June friendly matches after not being allowed to join the U20 team for the U20 World Cup.

Quique de Lucas, Garnacho’s agent, spoke about the 18 year old’s decision to play for Argentina. Speaking in an interview with Relevo, here is what he had to say:

“I believe that the Spain issue is closed and there is no need to hide it. It’s very bad management by the Spanish federation. I don’t know from who or, I can guess who, but it’s very bad management or a very bad policy.

“And I believe that Garnacho is not going to be the only case in which a player with dual nationality could be lost. I can honestly say that.

“And he decided to go with Argentina because he really feels it. For him, when this possibility opens up, imagine, to be able to play with a national team like Argentina.

“His entire maternal family, his grandparents, he has felt them since he was a child and for him, it is not a problem. It is a blessing.”
