Julian Alvarez breaks UCL record of Lionel Messi. By surpassing Lionel Messi of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)’s previous record, Julian Alvarez became the player from Argentina to score in the UEFA Champions League at the age of 19. Alvarez accomplished the feat when, after being brought on as a substitute, he scored for Manchester City against Real Madrid with his first touch of the match.
In the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals at the Etihad, Pep Guardiola’s team racked up an impressive 4-0 victory. When Alvarez discovered the back of the net, he was 23 years, three months, and 17 days old.
While everything was going on, Lionel Messi made history by scoring against Real Madrid in the first leg of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League semi-finals at the Santiago Bernabeu, making him the youngest Argentine to do so. He scored a brace for Barcelona in a 2-0 victory at the age of 23 years, 10 months, and three days.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid was severely outplayed by Alvarez’s Manchester City. At the Etihad, Bernardo Silva and Eder Militao both scored goals in addition to the Argentine. Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul will host the competition’s final, where City will take on Inter Milan.
PSG wants to replace Lionel Messi with a player from Manchester City:
Lionel Messi is nearing the end of his PSG deal and has not yet agreed to an extension. The 35-year-old superstar, according to Fabrizio Romani, will leave when the contract expires.
As a potential replacement for the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, PSG has targeted Bernardo Silva of Manchester City. Throughout his time in Manchester, Silva has consistently demonstrated that he is a player of the highest caliber.
The Portuguese superstar joined Manchester United in 2017, and in 303 games since then, he has tallied 55 goals and 58 assists. In 52 games this season in all competitions, he has seven goals and seven assists to his credit.
In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, Silva showed his impeccable class. Although replacing Mmessi is a big challenge for any team, Silva might be a terrific acquisition for the Parisian club.
