The Norwegian international striker sat on the bench for an hour, with a 0-1 lead to Atletico Madrid after scoring by Julian Alvarez, the game stood and tilted. Ten minutes into the Champions League’s first quarter-final against Barcelona, Sørloth only needed ten minutes to decide it all. After the match, the UEFA team wondered about the phenomenon of Sørloth against one of the world’s biggest clubs.

With a 0-2 win, this was Atletico Madrid’s first win at Camp Nou in 20 years! 25 games without a win, then Alvarez and Sørloth fight in goals for a historic victory.
After the game, the UEFA team ran over to Sørloth to gain insight into how the success against the giant Barcelona was possible.
Sørloth’s answer shows how far the Norwegian national team striker has come. Where Barcelona and Camp Nou have a deterrent effect on the opponents, Sørloth has made it his own “home arena”.
“I don’t know if there’s anything in the air – the hotel, the city, I don’t know – but I have a good feeling, and I feel dangerous when I go out on the pitch here at Camp Nou,” Sørloth says to UEFA’s website.
