In the early morning of May 18, Beijing time, the second leg of the Champions League semifinals staged a focus match, Premier League leader Manchester City swept the defending champions Real Madrid 4-0 at home, and the aggregate score was 5-1 to advance to the final. Argentine spider Alvaré came off the bench and scored one goal after playing four minutes. This kind of ultra-high goal efficiency that gives a little sunshine is estimated to kill Manchester City's main center Haaland.
In the first leg between the two teams, Haaland was closely watched by Rudiger's Real Madrid backline. Returning home this time, the Norwegian centre-forward was clearly holding his breath. In the 13th minute, Grealishneche's cross was crossed by Haaland, but Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois made a brave save, and then Alaba saved the goal to keep the goal intact. In the 21st minute, Kevin De Bruyne's tactical corner reached the back post, Akangi headed it over, and Haaland again scored from close range, which was denied by Courtois. Five minutes later, his turnaround blast shot slid past the goal. In the 31st minute, Haaland pushed down the stuck Militão behind his back and was warned by the referee.
In the first half, Manchester City led 2-0 thanks to a goal from Bernardo Silva. After the start of the second half, they continued to attack at home. In the 73rd minute, captain Gundogan dashing heel to make the ball, Haaland led the ball into the box and pushed it, the ball was touched by Courtois and hit the crossbar, and the Norwegian center missed the opportunity again. Three minutes later, Akanji's header deflected into the net on Militão to give City a 3-0 lead.
In the 89th minute, Manchester City, who had won the game, replaced Haaland with Alvarez. Just two minutes later, Mahrez attacked in front, Foden turned and sent a wonderful pass, Alvarez calmly pushed the goal in front of Courtois, and three Manchester City substitutes combined to complete the goal and completely kill the game.
In this game, Haaland played 89 minutes, 4 shots on target 3 times without scoring goals, and 2 successful matches, the above statistics are the highest of the game. In addition, he had 3 breakaways, 1 key pass, 1 clearance and 3 fouls. One thing is to say, although there are no goals, Haaland is still in very good shape in this game.
Alvarez only played 4 minutes and scored with one touch, which is estimated to make Haaland, who has already taken a break, very envious and jealous. Of course, by that time, the Real Madrid back line had basically collapsed, so the spider's goal also contained an element of luck. But in any case, the Argentine rising star has gradually shown himself to be a super substitute.
So far this season, Alvarez has played 46 games for Manchester City in all competitions, scoring 16 goals and 4 assists, making him City's second goalscorer. It is worth mentioning that Spider has only started 21 of his 46 appearances, and he has started 11 of his 28 appearances in the Premier League, and even so, his offensive efficiency is remarkable.
Of course, compared to scoring and dribbling, the little spider's championship luck is even more envious of Haaland. The 23-year-old already holds the two trophies of the Copa America and the World Cup, and at club level, Alvarez has also helped Manchester City rise to the top three, the Premier League title is close at hand, the Champions League and FA Cup have reached the final, if Manchester City finally win the European treble, Alvarez will achieve a career Grand Slam, which is the most enviable.
