Just over three miles from the Etihad Stadium, the Argentine forward’s two brothers – Rafael and Agustin – are turning out for non-league side Abbey Hey FC.
They share an incredibly close bond, with Julian explaining that some of his earliest memories have involved playing football alongside his siblings.
In the above video, the City forward, as well as his family, come to watch when his brothers’ North West Counties side train at the City Football Academy.

Alvarez has settled in well to life under Pep Guardiola, grabbing seven goals and two assists before the winter break, but that scoring touch is shared across the family.
