'Almost undroppable' was how Pep Guardiola described Julian Alvarez after the Argentinian registered two assists against West Ham following the September international break.
He bagged two for himself against Crvena zvezda the following Tuesday and 'almost' became obsolete. Alvarez has been the main beneficiary of Kevin De Bruyne's long-term absence, dropping into the role behind Erling Haaland and making it his own.
That brace took him to four goals in eight games and by the time he jetted off for the November break, that total was up to seven with four assists to boot.
Since returning from South America for the third time of the season last month, those goal contributions have kept ticking over but the performances have not been as electric.
