The Argentine Forward Backs His Team’s Strength Ahead of Arsenal Clash
Julián Álvarez, forward for Atlético de Madrid, expressed full confidence in his team during the press conference ahead of their UEFA Champions League matchup against Arsenal. Convinced of the squad’s potential, the former River Plate star believes the Colchoneros have what it takes to compete with — and defeat — any opponent.
“We can beat any team. We have a great squad with top players. It’s true we didn’t start the season in the best way, but the team has been improving. We’re in a good moment to face anyone,” the Argentine striker stated confidently.
He also analyzed Arsenal, the current Premier League leaders, who sit three points ahead of Manchester City. “Arsenal are a very strong team, great in possession and set pieces, but with our strengths and qualities, we can hurt them. It’s an important stage given the rival and the competition, and we must focus on winning every game to secure qualification as soon as possible,” he added.
Atlético Eyeing a Statement Win in the Champions League
Atlético de Madrid, who fell to Liverpool (3-2) in their group-stage opener but later crushed Eintracht Frankfurt (5-1), are looking for their second victory in the competition. Meanwhile, Arsenal come in with a perfect record after beating Athletic Club (2-0) and Olympiacos (2-0) without conceding a single goal.
Addressing the team’s struggles away from home, Álvarez acknowledged it’s an area to improve. “We can take that next step by winning this one on the road. We’ve dropped points because of small details, but we’re working to reduce mistakes and change that dynamic,” he explained.
The 24-year-old also emphasized staying focused and maintaining consistency: “I don’t think about the praise. I always try to train at 100%, help my teammates, and keep improving as both a player and a person. I want to help the team go far — and for that, I have to be ready.”
With confidence, ambition, and a growing sense of leadership, Julián Álvarez has made it clear: Atlético de Madrid believe they can challenge anyone on the European stage.
