Barcelona have identified the attacker as the ideal long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski. During the recent domestic clash between the two sides, Lewandowski scored a late winner off the bench after Marcus Rashford cancelled out Giuliano Simeone opening the scoring. Interestingly, Alvarez was left as an unused substitute. Diego Simeone opted to rest his top scorer, keeping him fresh for Wednesday's first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at Camp Nou. Barcelona have looked lethal in Europe recently, notably thrashing Newcastle United 7-2 in the previous round, setting up a thrilling tie against their domestic rivals.
