One of the talents with the most projection in world football is the Manchester City striker, Julián Álvarez, who on Monday was recognized as the seventh best player in the world, in an award that was won by his teammate in the Argentine team, Lionel Messi.
However, beyond the recognition of Álvarez’s performance in 2022, what attracted the most attention was a serious error by the FIFA communications department.
During the sample of the board that showed the first 14 players that made up the list of the best of 2022, the former River Plate player appeared in seventh place but stressed that in the nationality exposed by FIFA instead of Argentina appeared ‘Spain ‘ as birthplace.
The situation did not go unnoticed by many of the world champion’s fans, who showed their outrage at the serious mistake made by the author of the image.
The truth is that Julián Álvarez’s performance in 2022, where he stood out with 26 goals and eight assists with River Plate and Manchester City, was enough for players, coaches and journalists to recognize him as the seventh player on the list, accumulating 17 points. and earning four first-place votes.
