Vinicius and Lewandowski humiliated

Both were courted by Atlético Madrid this summer, but it was Sorloth who ultimately made the move.

Sorloth has failed to secure a starting place since arriving at Atlético, but he is proving his worth, as demonstrated on Saturday. According to Marca, over the calendar year in La Liga, Sorloth is the top scorer in Spain excluding penalties.

Impressive figures

In 2024, Sorloth has scored 31 times, ahead of Robert Lewandowski (29), Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior (20) – Osasuna’s Ante Budimir has also scored 20 goals. Sorloth cost Villarreal 32 million euros this summer, and only started 9 times in La Liga and the Champions League.

Despite his lack of starts, Sorloth is still sixth in the Pichichi title race this season, with 8 goals to his name. Lewandowski leads the way with 16 goals, followed by Raphinha (11), Ante Budimir (10) and Kylian Mbappe (10).
