Alvarez scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists in 3 games within a week; his market value of 100 million euros is still rising, making Man City's sale of him for 75 million euros a big loss.

In the early hours of October 1st, during the second round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid triumphed 5-1 over Frankfurt at home. Across three games in one week, Atletico amassed 13 goals, with Alvarez contributing directly to 8 of them by scoring 6 and assisting 2.

• In La Liga’s 6th round, Atletico Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 3-2, with Alvarez delivering a hat-trick that included a spectacular winning goal, truly saving Simeone and Atletico all by himself.
• In La Liga’s 7th round, Atletico defeated Real Madrid 5-2, with Alvarez scoring twice, including a direct free-kick goal.
• During the second round of the Champions League, Atletico beat Frankfurt 5-1, with Alvarez contributing 1 goal and 2 assists, creating 3 goals by himself and helping the team secure their first Champions League victory this season.

Within one week, Atletico played three matches, and Alvarez turned into a "Spider-Man," creating 8 goals (6 goals and 2 assists) on his own—a statistic that truly amazes the fans.

At 25 years old, Alvarez’s market value has reached 100 million euros. Given his current age and form, his value will likely increase further when Transfermarkt updates next. Last summer, Man City sold Alvarez for just 75 million euros, which turned out to be a bargain for Atletico. Last season,he played 57 games, scoring 29 goals and providing 8 assists.It was just a taste of his potential.

In my opinion, Alvarez’s attacking versatility surpasses that of Haaland. Alvarez is capable of playing counter-attacking football, breaking down defenses, and performing in tough matches; he is also a free-kick specialist. In this regard, "Little Spider" is more well-rounded than the "Demon" Haaland. Last season, Atletico won no trophies, but with Alvarez in even better form this season, can he lead Atletico to win a title? It feels somewhat unfortunate that Alvarez is playing for Atletico.
