Julián Alvarez’s Epic Mishap in Messaging His Girlfriend
Manchester City Star Forward Julián Alvarez‘s girlfriend Emilia Ferrero received a love note in English, although the Argentine wasn’t quite sure what to write.
Julián Alvarez’s Romantic Gesture Turns Awkward: Calls Girlfriend “Handsome” in Social Media Mishap
At just 24 years old, Argentine forward Julián Alvarez has already achieved everything. With River Plate, he has won the Copa Libertadores, the Argentine League, and four other championships.
In addition to the FIFA World Cup and Copa America, he won five more trophies at Manchester City and the CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions with Argentina.
Personally, Julián Alvarez has been studying English with renowned football interpreter and language instructor Sara Duque ever since he moved to Manchester City.
Recently, Alvarez sought to express admiration for his girlfriend Emilia Ferrero. However, his choice of words left many scratching their heads.
In response to a selfie posted by Ferrero on Instagram, Alvarez left a comment that read “handsome” accompanied by a heart emoji.
While intended as a compliment, the term “handsome” is typically reserved for men, leading to confusion and amusement among fans and followers.
Social media users were quick to point out Alvarez’s slip-up, suggesting that terms like “pretty” or “lovely” would have been more appropriate in the context of Ferrero’s photo.
The incident sparked speculation about Alvarez’s grasp of English, particularly as he has been undergoing language lessons with renowned soccer translator and educator, Sara Duque, since his move to Manchester City.
While Alvarez’s blunder may have been unintentional, it serves as a reminder of the importance of linguistic nuance, even in the realm of social media interactions.
As fans await Alvarez’s next move on and off the field, it seems certain that he’ll be paying closer attention to his choice of words in the future.
