**How Julián Álvarez Could ‘Complete’ Football for Argentina at Paris 2024** news999

-

 At just 24 years old, Julián Álvarez stands on the cusp of 'completing' football.


The Argentine star has a prime opportunity to achieve this over the next few weeks as he competes for an Olympic gold medal at Paris 2024, potentially rounding out his impressive trophy collection.


Less than two years ago, he was a vital part of the Argentina team that won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This success was quickly followed by a historic treble with Manchester City, clinching the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League in his debut season—a feat that made him the first player ever to be both a world champion and a domestic treble winner in the same season.


With additional titles including the Copa America and Finalissima already secured, Álvarez is close to achieving the ultimate accolade in football.**Olympic Football: Argentina at Paris 2024**


Argentina has a storied history in Olympic football, having claimed gold twice before—in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. This isn’t unfamiliar territory for them. Leading the team this time is Javier Mascherano, a two-time gold medallist himself, who won one of his medals alongside the legendary Lionel Messi.


However, Argentina’s campaign at Paris 2024 didn’t start as smoothly as hoped. Their opening match against Morocco ended in dramatic fashion. After equalizing deep into stoppage time (106th minute), it seemed the game would finish 2-2. However, a controversial decision led to a suspension of the match, with the players sent back down the tunnel. Almost two hours later, play resumed, only for Argentina’s equalizer to be disallowed for offside, resulting in a shock 2-1 loss.


This defeat meant Argentina faced their subsequent match against Iraq with the pressure of needing a win to keep their knockout stage hopes alive. A solid 3-1 victory over Iraq was crucial, with Julián Álvarez delivering a standout performance, contributing two assists and leading his team to a vital win.


Despite the rocky start, Argentina’s squad has the potential for a memorable campaign if they continue to overcome each challenge. While domestic trophies are significant, an Olympic gold could be one of the sweetest achievements of their careers, adding the final piece to their international accolades.


A win against Ukraine on Tuesday (30 July) would propel Argentina into the knockout stages and give Álvarez a chance to 'complete' his international career with the last medal on his list.
