JULIAN ALVAREZ WORLD CUP WINNER | "Messi was my idol!" 

"As attackers, we are the first defenders" every young football player should adopt that philosophy

What a wonderful way to pay a tribute to a player who has just won the World Cup. Man City did it beautifully. Julian surely deserved it. What a feeling it must have been to be able to play in a World Cup and win it with his childhood idol. An amazing story.

how crazy is growing up and still being able to play with your idol AND win the world cup with him. Almost impossible but julian took the right routes and worked to get here. Absolutely incredible story

What a beautiful story. Hearing Julian talk, he actually reminds me of Messi. Not as a player but as a person.

Almost had tears in my eyes watching this, seriously Argentina made the whole world happy

Julian Alvarez is a sky blue royalty! Argentina and Manchester City runs in his veins!

10:51 you can really see how happy he is achieving his dream and winning the World Cup with his idol messi, you can’t tell me he’s not the next Argentinian superstar. Maradona, Messi and hopefully Alvarez

❤️🐐🇦🇷🤜🤛🇦🇷🐐❤️ For me you were the most important man for Argentina outside Messi and Dibu this world cup. Congratulations champion 🏆🏆🥇

He needs more playtime 🇦🇷💙

He's a gem, so young and humble, i'm so glad he's treated how he deserves, this is so beautiful. I wish Messi finish his deal with the damned PSG and play for Manchester City.

11:15 wow he’s so self aware and wise,Honestly don’t think we all fully sunk in how special that moment truly was,🐢 needs to take notes.

The reason city fans love him is he’s a fighter a mixture of kun aguero and Carlos tevez fantastic player 😊

SOMOS CAMPEONES DEL MUNDO, NUNCA MAS ME VOY A OLVIDAR EL GOL DE JULIAN A CROACIA. GRACIAS JULI, TE AMO.

Soy bien bostero, pero creo que nunca me compró tanto un jugador salido en River. Este pibe es oro, y su humildad y forma de ser lo hace el doble de grande. El partido contra Croacia corrió, presionó, metió gol, todo. Fue un 10/10 . Semifinal del mundo. 22 años. Sos muy grande Julian

Alvarez already loved in Manchester.. Pure energy, great goal scorer.. 💙 🤜🤛

Thank you Manchester for being good to this boy. He sure gave his heart to the game. He is humble and teachable that makes him unlimited. Go Julian!

We're all proud of you Julian, you're a very humble person💙

*_HE IS LEGEND_*

He is so humble after all this talent he possesses and his achievements at such a young age

You deserved it Julian!! For a country to wait for 36 years is a long time. You were born into the legacy of Messi right when he was just starting to be in the limelight of world football. And actually get to play and score with him - that's gonna be a memorable event in your life.

Wow, this is such a great tribute to the young and talented Julian Alvarez.🤩 He was phenomenal during the world cup. To be that young and scored many goals to defend your country in the biggest sport stage in the world and at the end winning it with the GOAT Messi, it's truly a blessing and great story ever written for himself and football fans around the world. He is also so handsome and so humble. I love seeing a young player like this. I'm 6-months pregnant and felt so happy during the world cup because of him and the whole Argentinian team. Hopefully Alvarez is shinning in ManCity.

Congrats Julian, your future is bright!!

Esto es respeto al jugador argentino, al jugador campeon del mundo, es hermoso ver como los tratan, muchos clubes tendrian que aprender del city.

I love you Alvarez. I have been watching your plays, even before Man City. I saw your touches, passes, skills and shots. You are a real genius. I'm your biggest FAN. Honestly, YOU ARE AMAZING.

So positive and good. Just real and authentic. Also a star! What more to say, he has a whole career in front of him of great football and already won the biggest trophy.

Thanks Man Chester City for this beautiful video celebrating this humble and talented young man. 😍🤩🥰🤩😍❤️

I’m a Chelsea fan but so happy that this Man City lad got to lift the cup!!

I've only recently become a ManCity supporter, primarily because of KDB and Haaland, but I'm definitely also supporting Alvarez now too after that World Cup. Such a modest, humble and likeable kid. I truly wish him a long and prosperous career.

He admired The Right GOAT, whice is so normal and should be like that. For what Leo Messi did on the pitch during 19 years he is something like out of this planet and LM10🇦🇷 is and was the manifestation of the God in the footbal because from the first he start his carier he made alot of magic moments on the pitch.

I'm so proud of him 💙

He is next Super Star for Argentina nd he achieved already world champion what a tremendous performance by young man 👍👏

This is incredible 😊... I would be super happy, if Messi got, at least 1% of these types of tributes in PSG 🙃... I became a fan of Man City because of Aguero and now this type of tributes, made me fall for this club... Let's go...

You're such a top player with and without the ball you have every qualities to become one of the best in the world Julian keep going

Got my attention with that goal against croatia and in some time only it became two. The way he ran and ran and ran in the final. Class act. Humble, sombre classy forward unlike how footballers r

Que orgullo Julian Alvarez para los argentinos y, sobre todo, para nosotros los hinchas de River Plate.

acá no se lo nota nervioso... creo que le gusta mucho más hablar de fútbol que jugar juegos de preguntas y respuestas JAJAJJA te quiero mucho mucho, juli 💙 no te bajonees por perdidas, seguís siendo nuestro campeón 🕸️💪🏻

He really deserves that trophy Argentina for life💯 🏆🤝

Julian is so lucky to have played along Messi and win the Copa America, Finalissimo and the World Cup. Cannot get better than that. Hope the new generation can extent Messi 's legacy and win more World Cup. I believe, except some French and some CR7 fans, everyone in the world, who knows football, wanted Messi and Argentina to win, like "JUST GIVE IT TO HIM, FOR GOD'S SAKE!" LOVE the final penalty.

Thank you Manchester City for paying such a beautiful hommage to Julián Alvarez and the incredible campaign Argentina had this World Cup... This video will make Man City fans and Argentinian fans very happy, and thanks for being the home for some of the best players Argentina has given

qué chabón que se juega la vida en la cancha. totalmente merecida la victoria. llegamos tan lejos por él también, nos ayudó mucho durante todos los partidos del mundial y fue clave para llegar a la final. el que no ame a julian alvarez no quiere a su vieja, es el chabón más simple, humilde y buena onda, además es un jugadorazo. te adoro araña ❤️‍🩹 siempre con vos.

Well deserved. Keep it going boy⚽🏅

7:35 gets goosebumps talking about the final 😍 he's just like us! Much love, Julian ❤️

in love with how much ManCity respects Messi and mentions his name every chance they get

Ojalá llegue a la edad actual de Messi y todavía tenga su acento cordobés intacto 🥺❤️✨️🇦🇷 Well done, Man City 👍

I saw him playing in the world cup and he was one of the best, fight all the plays as it was the last, what a player!!!! my respect to Julian well round young man!!!

Lovely Video amazing contribute asset love it well Done fantastic atteibute amazing young talent 💙💙⚽️⚽️🇦🇷 so proud of you

Intente escribir en inglés pero no pude. Realmente quiero agradecerle al Manchester city por el amor que siempre le tuvieron al Kuni y ahora a Julián. Ustedes cómo club más allá de las decisiones de su director técnico siempre fueron un hogar cálido para nuestros jugadores. Siempre se preocuparon por su bienestar y les dieron los debidos reconocimientos a la altura de los rendimientos de ellos. Este trabajo(mostrar el día a día de los jugadores como un documental) es ESPECTACULAR. Los vuelve más humanos ante nuestros ojos (que para nosotros son dioses a veces eso es positivo otras negativo porque les exigimos demasiado). Gracias nuevamente desde Argentina 🇦🇷♥️

Thanks Man City for this tribute to Julian Alvarez, one of the most important man close to Leo Messi for winning this world cup, go ahead because you've got a big talent.

Julian is a great role model for any sports person - humble, hard working. Such a difference to the role model we had that runs and does interviews with Piers Morgan

Soy De Guatemala Hincha de Argentina desde chiquito , también le voy al City aguante Juli sos un crack ❤

He has a tendency to win FA Cup and UCL too. What a season for him

Sigo viendo el gol ante Croacia, y sigo sin creer la cantidad de veces que te queda la pelota!! Era el destino esta copa!

Nose o estaré loca , pero la vibra en su forma de hablar y expresarse y la humildad me hace acordar a leo. 🤦‍♀️🥰

la persona mas humilde que conocí A los 7 tuve el honor de conocerlo en Calchin,y siempre pienso en lo buen pibe que es

PSG should learn of Man City on how to celebrate a World Champion in their team

What a humble guy

Julian Alvarez it's even younger than Maradona when he win his first world cup, such a proud for my country, thanks Manchester City Club

Winning the world cup, as a football player you can't grow any more. But he said he'll grow much more as a person, and that's all that matters.

Espero, Julian, seas un grande. 💙

ahh we're so lucky to have him, i remember when i first heard we were signing him i went "similar to aguero!" (mostly his goalscoring/celebration) but he's an amazing player of his own!

The amount of respect Man City has about Lionel Messi is remarkable 💙

amazing story! Beautiful family! So glad Messi took the time to have the photo with Julian as a child.

Hes so humble which makes him special and i hope we have a brighter future players for Argentina.

Que hermoso haberte visto crecer en river Juli.. los hinchas per9 también rivales sabíamos las cosas que se te venían. Un talento innegable, grandeza dentro y fuera de la cancha. Gracias por regalarme tantas alegrías, siempre bancando los trapos por vos Araña ❤❤❤

What a enormous difference with the treatment PSG gave Messi

Fecha memorable por siempre 18/12/2022 💙🤍💙🏆⭐⭐⭐, ahora luchar y conseguir los éxitos en el City 💙💙🏆 Grande Juli!! 🤟🏻

Gracias julian! Quedaste para la historia, genioooooooooooooooo

What's so fascinating is that he took that photo with Messi back in 2011 when he was a kid. Fast forward to the world cup 2022 and he not only plays alongside him, but also wins the world cup. What a story. And he is still so young. Wish him nothing but the best for the rest of his career!

Wondeful player. An amazing story!!🏅🏆

Honestly this mad deserves everything its just a shame that he don’t get playing time he deserves. The amount of talent he has is crazy i really hope pep makes some changes so he can play way more this kid could be generational

This made me so emotional. Super proud of him.❤

talent guy፣ He deserves it

Que pibe más bueno y humilde. Que lindo ver que pudo lograr esto en su primer mundial. Orgullo pleno de que vista la camiseta Argentina con tanto respeto y pasión.🥺💙 GRACIAS JULIAN Gracias

Legend need more Playtime

This guy made sure that Argentina had a striker,a winger,an attacking mid whenever team needed such position…..

His talking and voice seems so much resemblance to messi idk why . Just hear the audio without seeing visuals ❤😊

All the best for champion league

Congratulations brother 🙏 Julian alvarez the spider .. Love and best wishes from India .. (sikkim) Lets get em champions league ✊✊✊✊

Some may not realize, this is not only a tribute for his achievement... but a beginning of a long lasting legacy. Well done MC, wonderfull job!!

Sos grande, Juli! Te lo mereces muchísimo! 💙

Hacía mucho tiempo que no me pasaba de encariñarme tanto con un jugador nacido en river , quizás desde AIMAR y Saviola que los admiraba de chiquitos pero este me da demaciado orgullo y más aun saber que soy julianista desde el primer momento ya desde que lo ví en ese partido del mundial de clubes por 3er puesto en 2018 dije este pibe tiene algo diferente y más allá que durante un tiempo no jugaba , jugaba y era irregular siempre dejaba algún mínimo detalle que yo decía faa que bueno que es este pibe , incluso discutiendo con hinchas de river por redes porque durante 2 años amago siempre con explotar y no se terminaba dando , ya en el 2020 en un partido contra San Paulo dónde el la rompe y hace 2 goles si mal no recuerdo me decrete julianista y lo reforze el famoso día de Enzo Pérez de arquero por las bajas por COVID dónde Julián es la figura absoluta de la cancha donde hace el que hasta ahora para mí es su mejor gol , ahí demostró que era un crack absoluto y aún así recuerdo que cuando en junio de 2021 llega una gran oferta de la MLS por el y yo discutiendo con hinchas de river que querían que lo vendan porque era 10 millones y yo decía naaa este pibe es nuestra joyita vale mucho más y ya en ese semestre se destapa absolutamente y la rompe toda en el campeonato que ganamos , era ver a river y preguntarás cuantos goles hará hoy ? Figura absoluta de un campeonato que river lo gana caminando gracias a Juli , y bueno después de eso me tocó defenderlo de los comentarios malintencionados de en su mayoría bosteros que lo trataban de sobrevalorado por el periodismo y por los hinchas de river , que terminaría en un equipo menor de europa a préstamo y luego que ni loco iría al mundial y bueno el tiempo nos dió la razón a los julianistas desde el primer momento y acá está EL MEJOR 9 DE LA COPA DEL MUNDO QUE ACABAMOS DE GANAR y estoy seguro que van a seguir viniendo cosas grandes porque como lo dije hace 2 años atrás este pibe va a ser de los mejores delanteros del mundo y va a pelear balones de oro y ganar champions estoy totalmente seguro de eso

"Con un poco de fortuna fui chocando a todos, y gol" la humildad de la arañita después de comerse a la defensa de Croacia y a uno de los mejores mediocampistas de la historia. Tremendo Julian, un crack.

Such a humble guy 👌🏻

Julian is a perfect striker.... He becoming the hero of Argentina after messi... Lot's of support from india

The second goal against Croatia 🔥

I must say I am blessed to have this promising Lad as a City fan and as a die-hard fan of Messi/Argentina. We are very proud of him! Much love from Nigeria.

Grande Julian! Never forget you are a world champion! Vamos campeón!!!!

So humble man...our next messi..Go Julian🥰🇧🇩🇦🇷

Alvarez is a good and humble lad like his idol. Hope he stays that way. Keep growing buddy but always keep your feet in the ground. That is what makes you special Julian.

PERSEVERA Y TRIUNFARAS! EJEMPLO DE VIDA EL DE JULIAN!

Such a humble man! Good luck in all the new beginnings!

I see a humble person like messi ! He is next gen Argentina ❤

when julian arrived at manchester city i thought this could help him grow much more and with the short time he has been in the team i see that it paid off, he scored 4 goals in the world cup and supported the team in defense and pressing the rivals and not letting them think at any time now what I see is that it will do manchester city very good and they just need to give him time and more minutes anyway pep has good figures to be able to create a great team

What a movie-like story... to take a picture with your idol, the one person that inspired you and that you looked up to, and years later, to be one of those who helped him achieve his dream and an entire's country dream.... to win the World Cup.

This is beautiful. All the best for today’s derby ❤.

que lindo homenaje, Gracias City!

" Seguir creciendo como futbolista y sobretodo como persona " 👏👏👏👏

What a legend. Vamos Julian.

somos campeones del mundo gracias a vos también Julián, te amamos para siempre 😭❤️

Que humilde que es Juli Alvaréz la verdad es un ejemplo a seguir!!!🫶🏼🔥
