Julian Alvarez’s brilliant strike against RB Leipzig has been nominated for UEFA’s Champions League goal of the week.
The Argentinian striker hit a sublime 84th minute goal as we secured a 3-1 victory in Germany to move top of Group G.
Phil Foden gave us a first half lead before Lois Openda equalised for the Bundesliga side with their first effort on goal.
The game looked to be heading towards a draw when substitute Alvarez scored five minutes after coming on with a wonderful curling shot from the edge of the box.
He then claimed an assist for Jeremy Doku to wrap up the win as we claimed our second successive win to start the campaign.
Alvarez has been nominated along with Newcastle’s Fabian Schar, Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham and Braga’s Bruma.
The deadline for votes is 11:00 (UK) on Friday 6 October.
