It was a Quattrick not a hatrick because he did score 4 goals and it looks like he's been waiting a long time to do this.
Sorloth was top scorer last season after surprisingly scoring in the matches before the end of the season and making him streak to beat Duvbyk, Jude and Lewa at that time but this season at Atletico he seems to have lost his magic touch a little bit although it is still quite good but his productivity is a little less when compared to last season.
With the Quattrick he scored in today's match, he returned to the top 5 for La Liga's top score even though it was indeed for the struggle for position 1 it was clearly very difficult in contrast to before but he was good enough and Atletico were not too wrong to buy him this season.
With this result Atletico should return more confident even though the race for the trophy is no longer possible for them but at least they must still secure a position in the top 3 as they have always done in previous seasons after last season they lost that position because they were overtaken by Girona.
Alexander Sørloth is in 4th place with 16 goals, but he has no great chance of winning the top scorer award this season. Kylian Mbappe and Lewandowski are the strongest candidates with 25 and 24 goals respectively, Ante Budimir is in 3rd place with 18 goals. Lewandowski, who was injured some time ago, has started to recover and was played by Hansi Flick in the match against Inter, but he is not fully recovered and his performance has not been optimal.
With 4 games left, I think Mbappe and Lewandowski will be fighting for the top scorer spot this season. They have a 1 goal gap, but Lewandowski could drop from the top scorer to second place if Mbappe can score consistently in the next 4 games. The competition between the two is very tight and I think Lewandowski will try to maintain his position at the top.
