In an unexpected twist to his otherwise stellar career, Julián Álvarez has finished the 2024–2025 season without lifting a single trophy marking the first time he ends a campaign empty handed since making his professional debut. The Argentine forward, known for his winning ways both at club level and with the national team, closes out an unusual year that stands in contrast to his title laden career.

A Remarkable Trophy Collection

Up until now, “La Araña” (The Spider) has woven a career filled with silverware, establishing himself as one of the most decorated players of his generation. His immediate impact at every club he’s played for has translated into an impressive collection of titles and a winning profile few can match.

With River Plate, the club that nurtured him and launched him to international fame, Julián won:

• Copa Libertadores (2018)
• Copa Argentina (2019)
• Supercopa Argentina (2019)
• Recopa Sudamericana (2019)
• Argentine Primera División (2021)
• Trofeo de Campeones (2021)

His move to Manchester City only amplified his relationship with success, as he adapted seamlessly to the pace of the Premier League and the Champions League:

• Premier League (2022–23, 2023–24)
• FA Cup (2022–23)
• UEFA Champions League (2022–23)
• UEFA Super Cup (2023)
• FIFA Club World Cup (2023)

At the international level, Álvarez has also played a key role in Argentina golden generation, securing:

• Copa América (2021)
• Finalissima (2022)
• FIFA World Cup (2022)
• Copa América (2024)

A Break in the Winning Streak

The 2024–2025 season has brought an end to his unbroken streak of silverware. Despite his consistent efforts and standout performances, the Cordoba-born striker was unable to add a new title to his résumé. While this rare trophyless season doesn’t diminish his legacy, it does present a new challenge.

For a player with such a strong winning mentality, this “stumble” will likely serve as fuel for the future. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how “La Araña” responds and whether he can return to the title-winning path that has defined his career so far.
