Sorloth: The 'Hitman' Goalscorer of Atleti
Alexander Sorloth has become a key player for Atlético de Madrid. The Norwegian striker, nicknamed ‘hitman’ by Simeone, stands out for his goal-scoring efficiency. With an average of one goal every 104 minutes, he is the second player in the club’s history with the best goal ratio, having played at least 30 games.
In the 39 matches he has played between La Liga, Copa, and Champions League, he has scored 15 goals and provided two assists. In LaLiga EA Sports, where he has participated in 25 matches, he has 11 goals, becoming the team’s top scorer in the competition.
His goals have been crucial in adding important points, such as the goal that gave Atlético the victory against Barcelona. Sorloth surpasses historical players like Radamel Falcao in goal average, although he is below the unequaled Christian Vieri.
His ability to finish with both legs, with his head and even from the penalty spot, makes him a very complete striker. His performance is vital for Atlético, who need his goals and intensity to achieve the season’s goals.
