Viktor Gyökeres, the star striker, expressed his confidence that the iconic Arsenal number 14, once worn by Thierry Henry, will bring many goals after breaking his drought in the resounding 4-0 victory over Atlético de Madrid.
The Gunners unleashed their offensive power at the Emirates Stadium, scoring four goals in just 14 minutes in the second half, leaving Diego Simeone’s team with no answer.
Gabriel Magalhães opened the scoring, followed by a great goal by Gabriel Martinelli. Gyökeres, who arrived at the club after a transfer of 73 million euros from Sporting CP, sealed the victory with a brace, ending a streak of nine games without scoring.
I feel like there are many goals in this shirt. It’s incredible.

Gyökeres, when consulted, shared his enthusiasm:
It was a great honor when number 14 was available. We want to win titles, that is our desire, and I want to contribute with goals.

Scoring four goals and keeping a clean sheet is very good. We always keep going. We do things well when we defend and take our chances.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised the incorporation of Gyökeres, highlighting the unpredictability and dynamism he brings to the team.
I think we have become much more unpredictable. It’s very physical, open, his face is for everyone. The way he presses the ball, holds it, is phenomenal. And then there’s the icing on the cake and the most important thing we’re going to discuss about him are the goals. Today he has scored two very different ones, and let’s hope he starts to gain momentum and a good streak of goals.
