The La Liga Matchday 27 clash between Atlético Madrid and Real Sociedad kicked off with poetic symbolism. It was Alexander Sørloth who opened the scoring, firing past the net of his former club. However, the "Colchoneros"' lead was short-lived—the visitors quickly responded, and by the 20th minute, the scoreboard showed a 1-1 stalemate.
Details: According to Opta, in 2026, Atlético's Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth has already netted 11 goals in 17 matches across all competitions. At this point, that's the second-best tally among all players in Europe's top five leagues.
The only player to outscore the Norwegian in 2026 is Bayern's Harry Kane, who has found the net 15 times. Sørloth is delivering remarkable consistency, outperforming the likes of Haaland, Mbappé, and Lewandowski on this list.
It's worth noting that this season the Norwegian has played 38 matches for the Madrid club, scoring 15 goals and providing 1 assist.
Reminder: Details have emerged regarding potential negotiations between Jürgen Klopp and Atlético Madrid.
