Bergström's backward kick at Gamla Ullevi paved the way for a golden evening he will never forget.
It became completely quiet and I thought it would probably be blown off, but then they came and hugged me and then I understood. This is completely "sinnes" this.
One felt like Wayne Rooney, but it was not quite so, unfortunately, says Bergström and relates to Rooney's classic goal for Manchester United in 2011.
The open, joking attacker showed strong emotions when the match against IFK Göteborg was finally over and it was time to celebrate the historic, sensational SM gold.
It was never something I thought would happen in my life. I am so enormously grateful to belong to this group. We showed that a collective takes you an incredibly long way.
I am proud of everyone. Everyone who has struggled, "Jeppe G" (Jesper Gustavsson) who has been here for ten years. We have a multitude of players who give everything for Mjällby, says Bergström to HBO Max.
One or two jabs
Before the 2023 season, the powerful attacker fell for the temptations from Djurgården. But the move to the capital did not turn out at all as he or Djurgården had thought. It stopped at six Allsvenskan matches and a move home in the summer.
Bergström points out that he got one or two jabs when he moved.
Now I hope it's forgiven, he says and looks forward to the gold celebration.
It will be all the way to the wall.
Goalkeeper Noel Törnqvist is leaving the club after the season. A move to Como in the Italian Serie A awaits.
He was, just like Bergström, very emotional shortly after the gold was Mjällby's.
I actually do not know what to say. I have never felt so good. The family is on site. This is what you live for. This means everything, he says.
"A dream"
With seven goals and eight goal-scoring passes, midfielder Herman Johansson can call himself the points king in the gold club. The Northerner is doing his fifth season in Mjällby.
It's a dream. It's been a long journey and there's been talk about this gold for as long as you can remember. Now we finally got to do it, so it's a magical feeling, he says to HBO Max.
One of the explanations is that each individual player made it work – and created a collective that could not be shaken.
Everyone has made their own journey, made this season their own and in the end we stand here. There have been so many things this season that have been fantastic for us as a group.
