Anyone that feels Alvarez is not been mention enough should mention him as much as he wants. Alvarez did great but better than Messi? Nah!. Reasons why we keep telling people to watch the game and not just goals.
It's the bitter Ronaldo fans who have nothing to hold on that are rallying round Alvarez, Ziyech, Mbappe etc to make a statement.

God! They even compare LM10 of Messi with LM10 of Modric. God go judge una
