Sucic targets repeat of Atlético stunner as Real Sociedad form surges | OneFootball

Luka Sucic is enjoying his best spell at Real Sociedad and has Atlético Madrid back in his sights after last season's stunner. AS highlights his rise into a regular under the American coach.

The 24-year-old has featured in all five games this season, starting four. He has two league goals, one at Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabéu and a 90th-minute winner at Elche on Monday.

Signed from Salzburg in summer 2024 for 10 million euros, he is contracted until 2029. After a slow start and talk of a loan, he is now delivering on expectations. Newcastle even considered meeting his 60 million euros release clause this summer.

He left his mark on Atlético in October 2024, smashing in an equaliser from outside the box that was named LaLiga's goal of the month.

Real Sociedad host Atlético at Anoeta on Sunday, and Sucic returns to the same stage aiming to extend his scoring run against the same opponent.
