Viktor Gyökeres has made history in 2024, scoring an incredible 60 goals for Sporting Lisbon and Sweden combined. The Swedish striker’s remarkable achievement came after scoring against Moreirense F.C. last night, despite Sporting’s defeat.
Gyökeres remains nine goals shy of legends like Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo’s personal bests in a calendar year. With five matches still left to play, he has an outside chance to climb further up the ranks of history. The record for most goals in a calendar year belongs to Lionel Messi, who netted an astonishing 91 goals in 2012.
Gyökeres leads the scoring charts in both the UEFA Champions League and Liga Portugal this season. His performances have cemented his status as one of the most prolific strikers in modern football. Fans eagerly await his final game of the year to see if he can push his tally higher.
