Alvarez apologises to Atletico fans

Atletico Madrid beat Deportivo 1-0 at the Metropolitano Stadium in Round 10 of La Liga. Julian Alvarez scored the only goal in the 48th minute, giving the home side all three points.

Speaking after the match, Alvarez apologised to fans for remarks he made during the World Cup. The Argentine forward said his words were wrong in both content and timing. He said he understood why fans were angry and that he would have reacted the same way if he were a supporter.

Alvarez also thanked fans for their support and stressed that his teammates stood by him during this period. He said he feels better both physically and in his ball control in recent matches, and wants to help the team.

Coach Diego Simeone said at the press conference that apologising is not easy. He described Alvarez as a humble, hardworking player who cares about his teammates, and said he appreciated the apology.
