River Plate manager discusses Julian Alvarez's 'contagious' quality that will please Man City

And his coach Alvarez was full of praise for his performance, saying Alvarez deserves credit for treating every game 'as if it was his first', rather than one of his final games for the club.

Alvarez himself spoke after the game, telling City he is ready to work hard all over the pitch and not just
