Sotiris-Polykarpos Alexandropoulos (Template:Lang-el; born 26 November 2001) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Primeira Liga club Sporting Lisbon and the Greece national team.[1]
Club career
Panathinaikos
Alexandropoulos plays mainly as a midfielder and joined Panathinaikos from the team's youth ranks. Having recently just turned 19, he's become a near automatic starter for Panathinaikos at the 2019-20 season, when you consider that the team has had three coaches in 6 months and that Alexandropoulos missed a whole season recovering from a bad leg injury. In the Greek League playoffs he was arguably Panathinaikos's best player, while he hadn't played much under the Spanish coach Dani Poyatos. On 15 June 2021, he signed an extension with the club until the summer of 2024. On 11 September 2021, he scores his first goal for Panathinaikos senior team, against Apollon Smyrnis on a 4-1 win, at the first game of the season[2]
On 21 May 2022, Alexandropoulos won the Greek Cup with Panathinaikos against PAOK. That was his first trophy at his senior career.
International career
On 24 March 2021, Alexandropoulos was called up to the Greek senior team by coach John van 't Schip for the forthcoming World Cup 2022 qualifiers against Spain and Georgia. On 28 March 2021, he made his debut with the national team as a substitute in a friendly match against Honduras.[3]
