An Atlético Madrid striker leads all top-five league teams in a unique statistic

Atlético Madrid hosts Bodø/Glimt in a UEFA Champions League match, and at the start of the game the home side’s striker managed to score a goal that stands out as remarkable.

Details: In the 15th minute, Alexander Sørloth found the net against the Norwegian side, and according to Opta, he became the first player across the top five leagues to score six headed goals this season. He leads all other players by this metric.

Reminder: Manchester City hosts Galatasaray in the eighth round of the UEFA Champions League, and immediately after the start of the match, Haaland’s poor run came to an end.

By the way, Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé wrote his name into the annals of world football during the match of the eighth round of the Champions League against Lisbon’s Benfica.
