Swedish and CP Sporting striker Viktor Gyökeres has addressed the buzz surrounding his iconic goal celebration after Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhães, was spotted mimicking it during a recent match.
Gyökeres, known for his humor and sharp wit, shared his thoughts in an interview with Viaplay Fotboll, playfully challenging his colleague’s creativity.
“Gabriel’s celebration? He’s welcome to steal it if he can’t create his own celebration!” Gyökeres quipped, clearly amused by the situation.
The incident came to light when fans noticed Gabriel performing Gyökeres’ signature move after scoring.
The celebration, which has become synonymous with the Swedish forward, quickly sparked a debate among supporters about originality and admiration in football.
“I didn’t know he did that,” Gyökeres admitted, adding, “but it’s fun he likes my celebration.” His response suggests he views the imitation as flattery rather than competition, embracing the lighter side of the sport.
Gyökeres’ celebration, characterized by its unique and energetic flair, has become a crowd favorite.
Over time, it has transcended the football pitch, with fans replicating it in stadiums, on social media, and even in amateur games.
Gabriel’s decision to borrow it has only amplified its reach, with clips of his imitation going viral online.
While some players might take issue with another athlete adopting their trademark move, Gyökeres’ relaxed and humorous reaction reflects his down-to-earth personality.
Known for his confidence both on and off the pitch, the striker has never shied away from expressing himself, whether through his performances or his lighthearted interviews.
Fans have weighed in on the interaction, with many praising Gyökeres for his positive attitude.
“This is why we love Viktor,” one fan wrote on social media. “He knows how to laugh things off and keep the game fun.” Others have suggested a potential “celebration showdown” between the two players in a future match, adding to the excitement surrounding the rivalry.
As Gyökeres continues to shine in both domestic and international football, it seems his influence extends far beyond his goals.
Whether through his celebrations or his performances, the Swedish star is leaving an indelible mark on the game—and perhaps inspiring others, like Gabriel, along the way.
