The absence of Julián Álvarez among the 22 attackers shortlisted for the The Best 2025 award has caused surprise and frustration at Atlético de Madrid. The club took to social media to express its disbelief, noting that the Argentine, who scored 29 goals in his first season with Madrid, deserved to be included alongside stars like Dembélé and Lamine Yamal. His outstanding season seems to have been overlooked by FIFA, while other high-profile strikers such as Messi, Ronaldo, and Vinicius made the cut.
In his debut season at Atlético, Álvarez netted 29 goals across all competitions and provided 8 assists in 57 matches. Despite these impressive statistics and his crucial contributions, FIFA did not include him on the shortlist. To show its disagreement, the club tweeted using the spider emoji, which symbolizes Julián Álvarez, expressing surprise and support for their Argentine star.
