Sorloth and the Metropolitano: A Special Reunion
Alexander Sorloth is preparing to lead Atlético de Madrid’s attack in the match against Real Sociedad at the Metropolitano. This encounter holds special significance for the Norwegian striker, as he will face his first team in Spain, Real Sociedad.
Sorloth arrived at the Donostian club on loan from RB Leipzig, extending his stay for another season. During his time in San Sebastián, he scored 24 goals and provided 5 assists in 90 matches, before joining Villarreal and later Atlético de Madrid.
The match evokes particular memories for Sorloth, especially his first goal in Spain, which was precisely against Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano on October 24, 2021. Back then, the stadium was known as Wanda, and that goal, after an assist from Isak, marked a milestone in his career.
Now, the Metropolitano is his home, where he has proven his worth with 10 goals out of the 17 he has this season. This reunion with Real Sociedad at his own stadium promises to be an emotional moment and an opportunity for Sorloth to reaffirm his connection with the club and its fans.
