At just 31 years old, Alexandru Mitriță has made a remarkable achievement in the Chinese football league, becoming the first player to score 10 goals and provide 10 assists in a single season. This milestone came after a standout performance in a recent match against Wuhan Three Towns, where he scored a goal and assisted another, contributing to a decisive 4-1 victory.

Mitriță's journey in China began in the summer of 2025 when he transferred from Universitatea Craiova to Zhejiang Professional, a move that brought a two-million-euro fee to his former club. During his time with Universitatea Craiova, he made 141 appearances, netting 66 goals and providing 32 assists, while also winning the Romanian Cup in the 2017/2018 season.

Just 24 hours after his impressive game in China, Mitriță returned to Romania to support his former team, Universitatea Craiova, as they faced FCSB in a key SuperLiga match. The game was broadcast live on Digi Sport 1 and kicked off at 20:30. Fans were delighted to spot him in the stands alongside his son, who sported a Paris Saint-Germain jersey, highlighting the personal joy in the midst of professional success.

As Mitriță continues to shine abroad, he has also made the difficult decision to retire from the national team of Romania, marking a new chapter in his career. His contributions to Romanian football, especially his time at Universitatea Craiova, will not be forgotten by fans and players alike.
