A round of golf with his national team teammates and it's almost a given from the first tee that Nygren will finish the last hole with the lowest score.
Bring out a dartboard and his darts are where they should be.
The attacking midfielder/striker himself has no clear explanation for why he so often wins competitions in various sports and games.
“Is it natural?”
I don't know. I honestly think it's just natural. I did a lot of sports when I was little. I just have it. In most sports, I'm just good.
Which ones are you best at?
Besides football... I'm probably even better at darts. Golf, billiards or snooker. I'm pretty good at table tennis, and I'm pretty good at tennis.
Have you competed in more sports than football?
Put it this way: there should be a sport that combines a lot of different sports.
There is a decathlon...
But it's athletics.

If Nygren had to choose, it would be this sporty innovation:
Football, darts, table tennis, billiards and golf.
Is there anything you are bad at?
Bad?
Nygren is surprised by the question and has to think about it.
Well, yeah, but there are probably a few things. Maybe. It's hard to think of anything here and now.

"You just have to put on a few pounds," he says, laughing. "Well, maybe, who knows."
Benjamin Nygren had a successful first season with Celtic. He played 58 games and won the league. As for darts, he's come to the right place. The sport is very big in the UK. Englishman Luke Littler is a major celebrity. Last winter he won the World Cup gold medal in London and the prize money of 12.5 million kronor.
"I watched the World Cup and I've seen some Premier League matches. It's fun to watch," says Nygren.
The focus is, of course, on football right now. Sweden meets the Netherlands in their second match of Group F in Houston on Midsummer's Day.
