Sorloth: A Colchonero Talisman Against Barça
Alexander Sorloth, the Norwegian striker for Atlético de Madrid, continues to prove himself as a key player for the Rojiblancos. Despite not always being a starter, his impact on the field is undeniable, especially when facing FC Barcelona.
In the last match, although the goal did not prevent Barça’s comeback, Sorloth once again left his mark, marking a milestone that had not been seen in LaLiga for 70 years. Sorloth has become a real nightmare for the Catalan team.
He has managed to score six goals in his last six encounters, including decisive goals in critical moments. His ability to make a difference coming off the bench is astonishing.
In fact, he is the top scorer among substitute players in the top five European leagues, with eight goals that have given Atlético de Madrid 11 valuable points in LaLiga. His effectiveness and scoring ability make him a fundamental boost for El Cholo.
In addition, Sorloth has managed to score against Barça defending the colors of three different teams (Real Sociedad, Villarreal and Atlético de Madrid) in three consecutive seasons, demonstrating his consistency and adaptability. The last time he failed to beat the Culé goal was on January 25, 2023, in a Copa del Rey match while playing for Real Sociedad. Without a doubt, Sorloth has earned the affection of the Colchonero fans with goals and dedication.
