Viktor Gyökeres, the star striker, expressed his confidence that the iconic Arsenal number 14, previously used by club legends, will bring with it a large number of goals. These statements came after his outstanding performance in the 4-0 victory against Atlético Madrid, where Gyökeres broke a scoring drought.
The London team unleashed their offensive power in the second half of the match, scoring four goals in just 14 minutes, leaving Atlético Madrid with no answers at the Emirates Stadium.
Gabriel Magalhães opened the scoring, followed by a goal from Gabriel Martinelli. Gyökeres, who joined Arsenal this summer for a fee of 73 million euros from Sporting CP, finished the rout with a brace that ended a nine-match goal drought, both in clubs and in the national team.
“It’s an incredible feeling, to be honest. There are many goals in this shirt. It’s something amazing.”
The Swedish striker added that it was a great honor to wear the number 14, which was immortalized by Thierry Henry, the club’s all-time top scorer.
Gyökeres also highlighted the importance of winning titles and his desire to contribute goals to the team.
