The Swede was instrumental in Arsenal’s passage to the Champions League final, having been involved in the only goal of the match.
Arsenal qualified for the Champions League final, 20 years later, after a 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid in London. Gyokeres was instrumental in the only goal of the game, scored by Saka, and was fundamental to his work throughout the ninety minutes.
At the end of the match, Mikel Arteta heaped praise on the former Sporting player.
He was enormous, the coach stated. You could see the fans’ reaction every time he had the ball. His dedication, what he gave to the team, was simply incredible.
It is worth remembering that Viktor Gyokeres has already been involved in 25 goals this season (21 goals and 4 assists) in 51 games for Arsenal. The Swede is the first player since Alexis Sánchez (2014/15) to score 20 goals in his debut season.
