Atlético Madrid forward Julián Álvarez celebrates his 26th birthday today, marking another chapter in what has been an increasingly influential spell with the Spanish giants, Softfootball reports.
Now in his second season at Atlético Madrid, Álvarez has enjoyed a solid and steady start to life at the club. His relentless work rate, sharp movement, and team-first mentality have earned him praise from head coach Diego Simeone, who has consistently highlighted the Argentine’s commitment and tactical discipline within the squad.
On the pitch, Álvarez’s impact has been clear. He has scored 24 goals in 57 La Liga appearances for Atlético, a return that underlines his importance in the team’s attacking setup. His ability to deliver in big moments has also stood out, particularly in the Madrid derby, where his memorable hat-trick powered Atlético to victory in the first derby meeting of the season.
Beyond the goals, Álvarez has brought energy, versatility, and intensity to Atlético’s frontline, fitting seamlessly into Simeone’s demanding system. Whether leading the press or linking play in advanced areas, his presence has added balance and drive to the team.
To celebrate the star forward birthday, Aletico via its official X handle, shared an exclusive highlight video of the player’s incredible performances and goals for the team since he joined from Manchester city two summers ago. They posted:
As he turns 26, Julián Álvarez finds himself firmly established in Madrid, with his best years still ahead. His journey in red and white continues to gather momentum, and the coming months offer another opportunity to build on a foundation already rich with promise.
Happy Birthday, Julián Álvarez — a forward growing in stature with every season in Atlético colours.
