Sörloth to the Rescue! Atleti Never Give Up Against Barça
Atlético de Madrid once again demonstrated their fighting spirit in an exciting match against Barcelona. Despite the adversities in the match played in Montjuïc, the Rojiblancos never gave up and achieved a valuable draw.
After a dominant start with a 0-2 lead, Barcelona came back and extended their advantage, but Atleti showed their characteristic grit. Marcos Llorente, with a powerful shot, reduced the deficit in the 84th minute, rekindling hopes.
And in added time, Alexander Sörloth, the Norwegian talisman, appeared to equalize the score. Sörloth, already known for his decisive goal in La Liga against the same opponent, scored again, this time taking advantage of a cross from Samu Lino.
Szczęsny managed to touch the ball, but couldn’t prevent the equalizing goal. This goal not only rescued an important point for Atlético, but also confirmed Sörloth’s status as a recurring nightmare for Barcelona.
The Norwegian had already scored four goals against the Catalan team with different shirts, including a recent one in December with the Rojiblanca. This vibrant match evoked the classic duels between these two teams in the 90s, making it clear that the rivalry between Atlético and Barcelona remains one of the most exciting in Spanish football.
