Fans of La Liga champions Barcelona have on Saturday come together to send a collective message to the club’s board.
As much comes owing to developments in the showdown between Atlético and Real.
The first Madrid Derby of the 2025/26 campaign is of course currently being contested at the Metropolitano.
A spectacular affair has played out to date, featuring goals, drama, and everything in between.
And amidst as much, one player as things stand is in line to prove himself match-winner – Julián Alvarez.
After Atlético recovered from a goal down to level things up on the stroke of the interval, frontman Alvarez took over to put the evening’s hosts two goals in front.
After first slotting home from the penalty spot, the Argentine then bent a stunning free-kick beyond the clutches of Thibaut Courtois.
As much comes fresh off a Man of the Match performance featuring a hat-trick against Rayo Vallecano in midweek.
And as alluded to above, the significance of such excellence has not gone at all unnoticed on the part of those of a Barcelona persuasion.
Amid long-standing speculation linking Alvarez with a move to Catalunya’s capital, Barca’s supporters have come together on Saturday evening to call for Joan Laporta to sanction a big-money swoop for Atléti’s star man.
