Viktor Gyökeres has been on a tear for his national team, racking up goals at a rate that would make most forwards reconsider their career choices.
His performances during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign have been nothing short of extraordinary. The numbers tell a story that’s hard to argue with: 19 goals in 32 caps for Sweden.
The goal that changed everything
With the clock ticking into the 88th minute, Sweden trailing in a 3-2 thriller, Gyökeres found the back of the net to clinch qualification.
In the semifinal round against Ukraine, Gyökeres delivered a hat-trick, essentially dismantling a solid defensive unit on his own.
