Gyökeres achieves a feat matched by only three players in the 21st century

After Ruben Amorim’s departure, Sporting's winning momentum has slowed down. However, this does not concern the prolific Swedish forward Viktor Gyökeres, who remains unaffected by the absence of the aforementioned coach.

Details: In the match against Moreirense, which saw Sporting suffer a 1-2 defeat, Gyökeres scored his 60th goal of the calendar year. With this goal, the Swedish forward became the fourth player in the 21st century to reach this milestone.

However, Gyökeres is still far from the all-time record. To challenge Lionel Messi’s record, he would need to score 32 goals in Sporting’s remaining five matches. As a result, Messi’s 91-goal record in 2012 remains unbroken for now.

Reminder: In addition to Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski also feature on this list of record holders.
