Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez placed a flower on the center mark (center spot) in the middle of the stadium.
On the 27th (Korea time), Atletico shared a video of Alvarez doing this during a training session at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain on the 25th. The video was taken at the moment a club member was able to enter the training ground for a few minutes.
There was a story. Álvarez, from Argentina, said "A big Atletico fan recently lost his daughter and asked if he could leave the flower in the stadium's center spot. So we decided to grant him a favor. So I'm on my way to leave this flower in the middle of the stadium. It's very sad."
Fans who encountered the video responded with "Beautiful Gestures" and "Kind Alvarez" through club post comments and SNS. There was also a response that it would have been better if I had talked without laughing. Alvarez is well known as a player who is always faithful to his fan service.

Alvarez, who did the `most special fan service in the world,' was rewarded with a good result. Atletico won 2-0 in the 10th round of the Spanish Primera Liga against Real Betis in the 2025-2026 season at Estadio Benito Villamarine in Seville, Spain, on the 28th. Giuliano Simeone, the son of Atletico coach Diego Simeone, scored the first goal in the third minute of the first half, and Alex Baena scored an additional goal in the second minute of the first half.
Alvarez, who moved from Manchester City to Atletico in August 2024, started as a front-line striker and spent 60 minutes on the ground until he was replaced by Alexander Seurlott in the 15th minute of the second half. Alvarez has 36 goals in 68 games in Atletico.
Atletico, which has won two consecutive games, retook fourth place, the European Champions League qualification, with five wins, four draws, one loss and 19 points. He maintained an eight-point gap with Real Madrid (27 points) who won in El Clasico.
