Gyökeres currently has 25 goals for the national team. He seems to be enjoying the Nations League more than any other tournament. In his last 15 matches in the competition, he has scored an impressive 14 goals.
“If I continue to play for a longer period, it is clear that it is possible,” he says.
During the last international break, he also became the first player ever to score in six consecutive Nations League matches. The goals moved him up to 11th place on the list of the national team's top scorers.
After a successful year for the national team, with goals in this summer's World Cup as well, he is one of the favourites to win the Ballon d'Or.
“I am not in a bad position, in any case,” Gyökeres says of his chances of taking home the prestigious award.
Sweden leads its Nations League group ahead of the final matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland.
