Manchester City won the first Champions League title 1-0, and the talented demon forward was ignored by the coach and reduced to a spectator, which is embarrassing

1:0, Manchester City with a valuable kick from Spanish iron Rodri, defeated Serie A giants Nerazzurri, and finally became the last laugh at Istanbul's Ataturk Olympic Stadium, thus making team history, breaking the curse, and standing at the top of the Champions League for the first time.

It is worth mentioning that looking back at the entire 2022-23 Champions League, Manchester City have overcome all the difficulties from the group stage, and after 13 games, they have won 8 wins and 5 draws, and won the final Champions League with an unbeaten record, which shows the dominance of the Blue Moon Army in the Champions League.

Since manager Pep Guardiola took charge of Manchester City in the 2015-16 season, although the Premier League trophy has been soft, but he has repeatedly broken and been criticized in the Champions League, this time, the boss can finally raise his eyebrows, hold the Champions League trophy in hand, and silence all those who previously questioned him.

The FA Cup, the Premier League, the Champions League, the dream of the treble have all come true, and in the early hours of this morning, Manchester City became the happiest team in the world. Gathered around the Big Ear Cup, all Manchester City players are smiling and full of pride. The sad and lonely Inter Milan players on the side have become a sad background.

However, not all Manchester City players are so complacent, and on this Champions League night, there is an Argentine forward talent who has won the coveted Champions League trophy but has no sense of presence. He is Julian Alvarez, known as the "new Aguero" by Chinese fans.

In this game, Julián Alvarez not only did not get a chance to start, but also did not get a minute to play from beginning to end, and was completely reduced to Manchester City's spectators and decorations. While Manchester City have won a record Champions League trophy, Julián Alvarez feels like an outsider. Winning as such a spectator, Alvarez will inevitably be stunned.

In this game, the coach was "stingy" as always, and he only used two substitutions in the whole game. One was to replace the injured De Bruyne with Foden in the 36th minute; One was when Kyle Walker was replaced by Stones near the end of the second half. In fact, Haaland's performance this game is very average, and the coach can consider replacing him with the eager Alvarez to strengthen the attack, but the commander, who has always sought stability, conservatively chose not to move.

Alvarez has limited playing time this season, making just 23 starts in 49 appearances, but he has contributed 17 goals and four assists for Manchester City, and in terms of attacking efficiency, he is actually quite terrifying. It's not that Alvarez doesn't help, it's that he met a more trustworthy Haaland. That may be Alvarez's fate at Manchester City. Such a forward genius was ignored by the coach and reduced to a boring spectator in the Champions League final, which is inevitably embarrassing.
