Player to watch – Julian Alvarez
Alvarez was rested last weekend, but he still came off the bench to score the winner against Athletic. His fine strike at the Bernabeu in midweek was his 22nd goal of the season in all competitions.
Alvarez scoring at the death
If anyone is going to find a breakthrough here, Alvarez looks the most likely candidate. The Argentina international has a habit of scoring at the death this season, with 27% of his goals coming after the 75th minute.
