Konstantinos "Kostas" Mitroglou (Template:Lang-el; born 12 March 1988) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a striker for Portuguese club Benfica and the Greece national team. He is nicknamed "Mitrogoal" and "Pistolero" by fans due to his goalscoring abilities.

Raised in Germany, Mitroglou started his career at Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he established himself as an excellent prospect. He was signed by Olympiacos in the summer of 2007, and had two loan spells at Panionios and Atromitos before establishing himself in the team. He transferred to Premier League club Fulham in 2013 for a club record £12 million, and they were relegated in his only season, in which he was troubled by injury. He then returned to Olympiacos on loan and then to Benfica, before joining the latter on a permanent basis in 2016.

A full international since 2009, Mitroglou has earned over 50 caps for the Greek national team. He was selected in their squads for UEFA Euro 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Club career

Early career

Mitroglou was born on 12 March 1988, in Kavala, Greece, and emigrated as an infant with his parents from his native country to Germany. He grew up in Neukirchen-Vluyn, North Rhine-Westphalia. He began his career at Maura Poulia. At the age of eleven, he scored 24 goals in 16 matches. He joined MSV Duisburg in 2001, after four seasons with the club, he joined Borussia Mönchengladbach. Mitroglou was a dominant player in the Under 19 Fußball-Bundesliga. He scored 14 goals in 10 matches and he made a record scoring 5 goals in a single match at an away win 3–5 against MSV Duisburg.

Olympiacos

2007–08

After impressing at the 2007 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, Mitroglou was signed by Greek champions Olympiacos. His first official goal for Olympiacos came in a 2–1 away win against Diagoras in the Greek Cup after an assist by Luciano Galletti. His first Super League goal came in a 4–0 home win against Levadiakos.

During the final stages of the season, Mitroglou played an important part in helping Olympiacos claim their 36th title, scoring the last-minute winning goal (2–1) in their game against AEL, this time assisted by Mirnes Šišić. His first goal in the Super League came in a 4–0 home win against Levadiakos. He then scored two goals in the last league fixture against Iraklis to seal a 3–1 win. He also scored in a 2–2 away draw against Iraklis in the Greek Cup semi-finals, after an assist from Michalis Konstantinou. In the 2007 Greek Super Cup, he scored the only goal as Olympiacos defeated AEL 1–0.

2008–09

This season, Olympiacos appointed Ernesto Valverde as their new head coach. Valvede dropped Mitroglou because he wanted his team to play a quicker and more offensive style of football, so Kostas made fewer appearances than he had in the previous season. He scored in a 2–0 away win against Nordsjælland in the first round of the 2008–09 UEFA Cup. In the Greek Superleague, he scored two goals in a home win 4–1 against Panionios.

2009–10

After Valverde left Olympiacos, Mitroglou saw increased playing time. He scored his first goal of the season against Sheriff Tiraspol, in a 2–0 first leg away win in the Champions League play-offs, also scoring in the return leg (1–0 home win). Mitroglou scored the equalizing goal in an eventual 2–1 defeat of Standard Liège in a UEFA Champions League group game on 21 October 2009. He also scored in home wins against Asteras Tripolis (3–0) and Ergotelis (2–1). His next goal came in an away draw (2–2) against PAS Giannina after an assist by Dudu Cearense. He also scored a goal in a heavy 3–1 away loss to Panserraikos.

He scored both goals in a 2–0 win against rivals Panathinaikos after assists by Dudu Cearense and Jaouad Zairi. He added two more goals in a 5–1 home win against Levadiakos. He netted in the club's 2–1 loss to Girondins de Bordeaux in the Champions League Round of 16, which saw Olympiacos crash out in a 3–1 aggregate loss. His next goal came in Olympiacos' 2–0 win against Atromitos.

2010–11

This season Valverde returned to Olympiacos as the head coach. Despite being a starter and scoring a spectacular goal in the opening league match against Iraklis (1–2 away loss), he only made 4 more appearances, as Valverde chose to use Kevin Mirallas and Marko Pantelić instead. He took part in the international match "8th Match Against Poverty" on 14 December 2010, at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Greece, as a player in the Olympiacos All Star team and scored two goals.

Loan spells

Panionios (2010–11)

In January 2011 he moved to Panionios FC for a six-month loan. At his debut, he scored both goals in a historic 2–0 away win against Aris, the first for the club in 50 years. His next goals came at a 1–1 home draw against Panathinaikos and a 1–1 away draw against AEK Athens, the latter after an assist of Georgios Galitsios. He scored the winning goal (2–1) against Atromitos and converted a penalty at the 3–3 home draw against AEL. He added another one at a 1–1 away draw against Iraklis. He scored his last goal at the 2–1 away win against Kerkyra after an assist of Fanouris Goundoulakis.

At the end of the campaign, he was voted the Superleague Greece Footballer of the Year.

Back to Olympiacos

2012–13

The 2012–13 season found Mitroglou back to his team, Olympiacos. After Ernesto Valverde left, he was appointed by the new coach Leonardo Jardim. Mitroglou showed a good form in the pre-season training scoring a total of three goals, two of them in a friendly against Malaga CF at Karaiskakis Stadium. The season however started a bit irregular for him since he had to compete with 1st choice striker Rafik Djebbour for the starting eleven. That didn't get him much playing time and he came mostly as a substitute. His first goal of the season came in a 2–1 away win against PAS Giannina after an assist of Rafik Djebbour. At the same match he made the assist of the second goal to Djebbour.

With Djebbour absent due to injury, Mitroglou was a starter for the second group game of the UEFA Champions League against Arsenal in the Emirates Stadium, where he scored the equalizer in an eventual 3–1 loss. He next scored a goal in a 2–0 home win against OFI Crete after an assist of Paulo Machado. He scored again in the Champions League by netting the winning goal in a 2–1 away win against Montpellier HSC after an assist from Djamel Abdoun. He also added another goal against Montpellier in the return fixture on 6 November as Olympiacos claimed a 3–1 victory.

His scoring streak continued as he next scored two goals in an 4–0 away win against rivals AEK Athens, and one in each 2–0 victory against A.O. Kerkyra and Panachaiki, the latter being a Greek Cup fixture. He scored his fourth Champions League goal at the 2–1 home win against Arsenal. His first goal of 2013, came in a 3–0 home win against Veria, after an assist of Juan Pablo Pino. On February 9, he scored the lone goal against Asteras Tripoli at the last minute of the game, giving Olympiacos the 1–0 away win. He scored the winning goal again at the 1–0 away win against A.O. Kerkyra.

His next goals came in a comfortable 4–0 away win against Platanias, and the classical derby against Panathinaikos which ended 1–1. In the Greek Cup semi-finals against Panthrakikos, he scored two goals in the first leg to give a 6–2 home win and another two goals at the returning leg (2–1 away win) as Olympiacos progressed to the final with a total 8–3 aggregate. At the last league match, he scored the opening for a 2–1 home win against Panionios.

2013–14

During the pre-season preparation at Seefeld, Mitroglou scored a goal in a 2–1 friendly win against Azerbaijani club Simurq PIK.

On the second matchday of the Superleague Greece he made an assist to David Fuster in a 2–1 home win against Atromitos. On 1 September 2013, he scored his first career hat-trick in a 5–0 away win against Levadiakos after three assists from Fuster. He scored his second hat-trick on the next fixture in a 4–0 home win against Skoda Xanthi, becoming the first player in Olympiacos' history, as well as the Greek League in general, to score two consecutive hat-tricks, while also having also scored in an international match between these two fixtures.

He got his third hat-trick of the season on 2 October, scoring all three goals in a 3–0 away win against Anderlecht in the Champions League group stage. He became the first Greek player to complete a hat-trick in the Champions League, and along Predrag Đorđević is one of only two Olympiacos players to have scored a hat-trick in the Champions League. His scoring streak continued, as he scored yet another hat-trick four days later, in a comfortable 6–0 home win against Veria, while also assisting a goal to Joel Campbell. His next goal came in an away win (1–4) against Platanias after an assist from Alejandro Domínguez, a game in which he also provided the assist for Javier Saviola's strike. On October 24, he assisted Domínguez's goal against Benfica in a 1–1 draw in the Champions League. He next scored two goals at a home win 5–1 against OFI Crete with two headers after two assists from Joel Campbell. He next scored the winning goal in an away win (1–0) against Panathinaikos. He next scored a goal at a home win 4–0 against PAOK after another assist from Joel Campbell.

On 27 November, Mitroglou suffered an injury in a 2–1 away loss against Paris Saint-Germain, keeping him on the sidelines for over a month. On 19 December, amid much transfer speculation, Mitroglou renewed his contract with Olympiacos until 2017. On 10 January 2014, he recovered sufficiently to come on as a substitute against Atromitos.

Fulham

On 31 January 2014, Mitroglou signed a four-and-a-half-year contract for a fee believed in the region of £12 million with Premier League club Fulham. On 22 February, he made his debut for Fulham in a 1–1 draw at West Bromwich Albion, replacing Hugo Rodallega after 61 minutes. Mitroglou was the highest transfer fee in Fulham's history, and despite Fulham pinning their hopes of staying in the Premier League on the Greece international, they were relegated in May 2014, and due to various injuries and fitness problems Mitroglou played in only two further Premier League matches before the end of the 2013–14 season, starting only one of these games.

Olympiacos (loan)

On 31 August 2014, Mitroglou returned to Olympiacos on loan from Fulham on a season-long loan. He made his debut on 13 September, replacing Dimitris Diamantakos in the 55th minute of a 3–0 home win over OFI Crete. Three days later he scored what proved to be the game winner in a 3–2 win over Atlético Madrid in the group stages of the Champions League.

Benfica

On 6 August 2015, Mitroglou joined Portuguese champions Benfica on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut three days later, replacing compatriot Andreas Samaris for the final 18 minutes of a 0–1 loss to rivals Sporting CP in the 2015 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira at the Estádio Municipal de Aveiro. In their first match of the Primeira Liga season against Estoril, he opened the scoring in a 4–0 win at the Estádio da Luz. On 11 September, he scored in each half of a 6–0 win in the league against Lisbon neighbours Belenenses.

On 23 January 2016, he scored with a backheel goal in a 3–1 win against Arouca, and on 3 February, he scored a hat-trick against Belenenses in an away victory (0–5). It was his first hat-trick in the season, scoring for the fifth consecutive match in a row. On 13 February, he opened the score in a 2–1 home loss against rivals FC Porto, struggling for the win before goalkeeper Iker Casillas made a save at close quarters to stop him from netting an equalizer. One week later, he scored for the seventh match in a row, by opening the score in a 1–3 win at Paços de Ferreira; at the final whistle, a Benfica supporter entered the field and knelt before Mitroglou, and then tried to shine his boots with a scarf. On 5 March, Mitroglou scored the only goal in the Lisbon derby at Sporting's Estádio José Alvalade, giving Benfica the lead in the league, ahead of their opponents. Later on, he netted a brace in a 5–1 home win against Braga in the Primeira Liga on 1 April, increasing his tally to 18 goals in the league, with 13 goals scored in 12 matches. He ended the league campaign with 20 goals in 32 matches, winning the Primeira Liga title on 15 May after a 4–1 home win against Nacional.

Two days after the league title celebrations, Benfica announced that Mitroglou had signed a permanent deal with the club until 2020, for a €7 million fee, which was disclosed by Football Leaks. On 18 January 2017, he scored a hat-trick in a 6–2 home win over Leixões in the Taça de Portugal quarter-finals.
