Alvarez was subbed on to whistles from the home crowd as he looks to force a move away
On his return to Atletico Madrid, Julian Alvarez faced a hostile reception from his former fans, who jeered him as he entered the stadium and continued to condemn him with deafening whistles when he was brought onto the pitch in the 66th minute. The Argentinian forward, who has been linked with a move to Premier League champions Arsenal and Barcelona, was met with jeers during his warm-up and upon his substitution in the second half.
Despite the crowd's animosity, Alvarez walked off the pitch with his teammates during the post-match celebration, instead opting to leave the tunnel amid additional jeers. The 26-year-old's return to the Santiago Bernabeu came amid ongoing tensions between the player and the club, as Atletico Madrid maintain their stance that Alvarez is not for sale.
