Konstantinos "Kostas" Mitroglou (Κωνσταντίνος "Κώστας" Μήτρογλου, ; born 12 March 1988) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a striker.

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.

Mitroglou was born on 12 March 1988, in Krinides, 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 TuS Preussen Vluyn.

At age 11, he scored 24 goals in 16 matches.

He then played for SV Neukirchen.

In 2003, he joined MSV Duisburg.

Later on, he joined Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Mitroglou was a dominant player in the Under 19 Bundesliga.

He scored 14 goals in 10 matches.

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.

After impressing at the 2007 UEFA European Under-19 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 Superleague goal came in a 4–0 home win against Levadiakos.

In the 2007 Greek Super Cup, he scored the only goal as Olympiacos defeated AEL 1–0.

For the 2008–09 season, Olympiacos appointed Ernesto Valverde as their new head coach, who dropped Mitroglou because he wanted his team to play a quicker and more offensive style of football.

Mitroglou therefore made fewer appearances than the prior season.

He scored in a 2–0 away win against Nordsjælland in the first round of the 2008–09 UEFA Cup.

In the Superleague, he scored two goals in a home win 4–1 against Panionios.

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 UEFA Champions League play-offs, also scoring in the return leg (a 1–0 home win).

A full international since 2009, Mitroglou has earned over 60 caps for the Greece national team.

Mitroglou scored the equalizing goal in an eventual 2–1 defeat of Standard Liège in a UEFA Champions League group stage match on 21 October 2009.

He also scored in home wins against Asteras Tripoli (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.

Mitroglou 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 scored in the club's 2–1 loss to Bordeaux in the Champions League round of 16, which saw Olympiacos eliminated following a 3–1 aggregate loss.

His next goal came in Olympiacos' 2–0 win against Atromitos.

He was selected in their squads for UEFA Euro 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

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 in Portugal, before joining the latter on a permanent basis in 2016.

With Benfica, he would win five major honours, including back-to-back league titles, and set his single-season scoring record with 27 goals.
