If you ask a Barcelona supporter who at Atletico Madrid they fear the most, chances are they are pointing to Alexander Sørloth, not Julian Alvarez or Griezmann. Sørloth only came on the pitch in the last half hour of the second leg against Tottenham on Wednesday without scoring, but has been in fantastic scoring form since the new year with 11 goals. However, that is not what Barca supporters fear most in the Norwegian national team striker.
Because if there is one striker in La Liga Barcelona has really struggled with, it is Sørloth. First at Real Sociedad, then Villareal, then the last two seasons at Atletico Madrid. Now Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals in April. This means another meeting with Sørloth at the top.

In December 2025, the surprising event came that Sørloth walked off the field without scoring. Surprising, because “our man” had then scored in six games in a row (!) against Barcelona (for Real Sociedad, Villareal, Atletico Madrid).
In total, Sørloth stands with 7 goals against Barcelona, in addition to three assists. We’re guessing Barcelona fans will hold their breath when the Norwegian giant fights his way to the ball inside the Barca field in the upcoming quarter-finals.
Sørloth has shown himself to be the “Barcelona killer”.
