Sörloth, a Red and White Legend from the Bench
Alexander Sörloth continues to write his name in the history of Atlético de Madrid. The Norwegian striker, known for his goalscoring instinct, has achieved an impressive milestone: he has become the player with the most goals scored coming off the bench in a single season in the club’s 122-year history.
His recent goal against Barcelona in Montjuïc not only sealed a valuable draw, but also cemented his place in the Atleti record books. Sörloth’s impact as a game-changer is undeniable.
With this latest goal, he has scored eight goals this season coming on as a substitute, surpassing historical records and demonstrating his ability to change the course of matches.
His effectiveness lies not only in his goalscoring instinct, but also in his ability to seize opportunities and unbalance rival defenses at key moments. However, internal competition is fierce.
Ángel Correa and Julián Alvarez, teammates, are also having a great impact coming off the bench, with seven and six goals respectively. This healthy competition demonstrates the depth of the squad and the importance of players who bring freshness and energy from the bench.
Furthermore, Sörloth seems to have a special predilection for Barcelona. He has scored in the last five matches against the Catalan team, wearing the shirts of Real Sociedad, Villarreal and now, proudly, Atlético de Madrid. With two more matches on the horizon against Barça, Red and White fans hope that Sörloth will continue to expand his legend and contribute to the team’s successes.
