Starting against Liverpool

Alvarez is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Liverpool.

Analysis: Alvarez is in the starting XI for Atletico despite some talks of the attacker being on the bench to start. This comes with the fact that Alexander Sorloth (tear) and Jonathan David (undisclosed) are out, leaving only a few attacking options for the club. This is the forward's first start for the club this campaign after an offseason transfer saga that saw him remain with his Atletico, only previously appearing from the bench twice in league play.

Not expected to start vs. Liverpool

Alvarez isn't expected to start Wednesday against Liverpool in the 2026/27 UCL opener Wednesday, according to manager Diego Simeone. "Alvarez is building up his fitness, I don't think he's ready to start, but I'm sure he'll help us as the game progresses."

Analysis: Following a transfer saga that included a failed move to FC Barcelona in the summer, Alvarez has appeared off the bench in two league matches for Atletico Madrid while tallying two just shots. Expect Alvarez to come off the bench Wednesday as well, but it's worth noting the Spanish club will be weakened in the attack since Alexander Sorloth (tear) and Jonathan David (undisclosed) won't be available. That means Ademola Lookman is expected to continue as the No. 9 for the time being.
