Sørloth: Elite Goalscorer, on Suárez's Level
What a season for Atlético! Alexander Sørloth has reached a milestone not seen since the golden era of Luis Suárez. The Norwegian striker has surpassed the 20-goal mark in La Liga, a feat that places him among the elite of Rojiblancos goalscorers.
In the match against Girona, Julián Alvarez showed his generosity by giving Sørloth his 20th goal, cementing his great campaign. Since Suárez achieved this record in the 2020-21 season, no Atlético player had reached this figure in the regular tournament.
In recent seasons, Griezmann and Morata led the scoring charts with lower records, demonstrating the importance of Sørloth’s goalscoring contribution. Under the guidance of Diego Pablo Simeone, only strikers like Griezmann, Diego Costa and Falcao had surpassed the 20-goal barrier.
Sørloth and Julián Alvarez have proven to be a formidable attacking duo. With 20 goals from the Norwegian and 17 from the Argentinian, the fans can dream of great things. The recovery of defensive solidity, together with the forcefulness in attack, excites the fans with the possibility of fighting for important titles. Come on, Atleti!
