Julián Álvarez continued his strong individual record against Barcelona on Sunday, providing the assist for Atlético Madrid's opening goal in their La Liga meeting at the Metropolitano, according to Get Spanish Football News.

The report said Álvarez set up Giuliano Simeone's early strike after earlier missing a one-on-one chance. It noted that Barcelona had publicly pursued his signature over the summer.

According to the outlet, Barcelona is the opponent against whom Álvarez has his best goal-involvement record as an Atlético player across all competitions, with four goals and three assists. The report listed Tottenham next on five involvements, followed by Real Madrid on five.
