After Argentina's 3-2 comeback victory over Egypt, Alvarez was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone.

Regarding the match:

We are very happy. I think this was one of the most important or best matches for the Argentine national team in recent years, both considering the course of the game and because we are at this stage of the FIFA World Cup. I want to thank everyone who was here today for their unwavering support and encouragement. I also want to thank those who cheered us on at home; we always feel their love and support, which is very important to us. To be honest, we feel like we are playing at home here, and this is a very important source of strength. We will always give our all on the field, as shown today, as shown in the last match, and as always, we strive to represent Argentina in the best possible way.

What makes this team different? How do you explain this core spirit, this street football spirit? Because this team definitely has something unique; it has gone through so many hardships but ultimately pulled through.

Yes, I think it encompasses all aspects. This is a team that can adapt to any situation; we give our all on the field and show character. As just mentioned, the support of the fans and the heart of the Argentinians always push us to strive for more and fight to the end. To be honest, when we were 0-2 down today, we did feel a bit frustrated due to the little time remaining. But we always manage to find more strength and fight until the end. We knew that in all the matches of this FIFA World Cup, we could score many goals, and we would get our chance sooner or later. Fortunately, the goals came near the end. Personally, I feel great, 100% fit. I played 90 minutes today and felt fantastic. I always try my best to help the team wherever I can. As for Messi, there are really no words left to describe his performance in this FIFA World Cup; it's simply stunning. We try to help him, accompany him, and enjoy every moment with him. We also thank him for everything he does for us and how he treats us. He is a legend, the best player in the world historically, he is simply a genius.
