Julián Álvarez scored twice as Atlético Madrid routed fierce rivals Real Madrid 5-2 in a thrilling Madrid derby on Saturday. Álvarez's performance served as sweet redemption after his controversial double-kick penalty contributed to Atlético losing to Madrid in last season's Champions League. The Argentina striker stole the show from Kylian Mbappé, who scored as Madrid went to a 2-1 lead.
Alvarez's agents are expected to meet Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Liverpool next week amid rumors of his potential departure from Atletico Madrid.
