Argentinian striker Julián Álvarez faces a major challenge after entering the longest goal drought in La Liga since joining Atlético Madrid in the summer of 2024, coming from Manchester City in a record deal for the club.

Statistics indicate that the player has completed nearly 680 minutes without finding the net in La Liga, following his latest participation today in the match where his team defeated Real Mallorca 3-0 in the 21st round.

According to statistics, Álvarez has not scored in the last 9 La Liga matches, with his last goal in the competition being a penalty against Sevilla in November 2025.

Despite this tough period, his overall numbers this season show his somewhat effective contribution, having scored 7 goals and made 3 assists in 20 league matches.

The player, nicknamed 'The Spider', hopes to break this negative streak soon, especially with his name recently linked to transfer rumors and offers from other European clubs like Barcelona and Arsenal, in addition to massive offers from Saudi Arabia.
