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.
Mbappe scored a hat trick in today's El Clasico but was unfortunate with 3 goals scored although he is now pulling away from Lewa for the top scoring spot but it wasn't enough to give Madrid the momentum for a win in El Clasico as the final score ended in a 4-3 Barcelona win.
It's a bit regrettable but the scoreline can't be changed now and Madrid have to admit that all 4 games this season have been won by Barcelona and that hurts.
With the result of El Clasico in today's match we must indirectly admit that this season Barcelona is better than Madrid and that is a fact that cannot be eliminated. Not that Madrid are bad but Barcelona are much better this season.
With a 7 point gap now even though there are 3 games left but I will congratulate Barcelona for winning La Liga this season because they only need 1 win next week to make them party.
Barcelona whipped Real Madrid ass four times this season and you say that Madrid isn't in a poor form. C'mon, this isn't the Madrid we know of. The team is weak due to the loop holes in some area like the defense and midfield. Mbappe got his moment today for scoring a hat trick, he almost made it four goals but he couldn't.
Barcelona has automatically won the trophy and that was why you saw how they were jubilating when Ferran scored the 5th goal that was later checked and ruled out by VAR. Flick is a great coach. Yamal has great potentials and might be the next superstar if he continues improving as he grows up.
