The transfer speculation intensified after Alvarez dismantled Spurs in a historic 5-2 first-leg victory. Exploiting the errors of Igor Tudor’s side, Alvarez bagged a brace on the night. Despite the noise, Alvarez tried to remain grounded after the game, saying: “I have nothing to say. These are things that get talked about, there’s a lot of talk on social media too, everyone posts their opinion, it all blows up. I never said anything, I’m fine here, very happy, competing in all the competitions. I never said anything, it’s just talk. It gets blown out of proportion. I’m happy at Atletico, content, fighting.”
