"I've watched Messi's goal against Liverpool here several times [in May 2019], but I wasn't entirely sure it was going into that exact corner," Alvarez told ESPN. "Once you strike the ball, you realise it, and even before I kicked, I was already quite certain. We were practising yesterday and I hadn't converted a single one. Today was what mattered."
