How many goals will Julián Álvarez score this season?
He's hoping for 40, but he points out that 20 goals are already being called a bad season
Rubén Uría gives his goal prediction for Julián Álvarez
After going over the Argentine's numbers, Rubén Uría puts the criticism into perspective and makes his prediction for Julián Álvarez's season.
Rubén Uría wants to give the audience some context: when people describe Julián Álvarez's last season as bad or underwhelming, they are talking about 20 goals. A genuinely bad season, he says, would be 10. And if he repeats his first season, that means 29 across three competitions.
With that, he makes his prediction: Julián will reach 30 goals in all competitions. He would consider that a good figure, though not the one he is hoping for, because he believes the striker has what it takes to score 40.
A pundit on the panel completes the argument: last season's Champions League goals took Atlético to the semi-finals, and if that "bad" season went so far, a good one with 30 goals could mean becoming champions.
