Atletico Madrid pulled off a surprise this Saturday in La Liga, disrupting Real Madrid’s plans. In a match packed with drama, Julian Alvarez scored a crucial brace to turn the game around in the second half.
After taking an early lead, Los Colchoneros found themselves trailing, and things looked bleak. However, Alvarez netted twice—first from the penalty spot and then with a brilliant free kick—to put his team ahead. With that strike, Julian ended a 17-year stretch in which Atletico Madrid had failed to score a free-kick goal against Real Madrid. The last to do so was Simao in 2008.
