After Sweden's emphatic 5-1 victory over Tunisia in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, Graham Potter made sure to highlight the contributions of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres.

Isak, who scored one goal and provided two assists, shone alongside Gyökeres, who also found the net and set up a goal. Their partnership is increasingly impressing the Swedish manager:

They complement each other very well. The more they play together, the better they will become.

The coach believes that both forwards possess exceptional individual qualities, but their true strength lies in their ability to work together for the benefit of the team.

They are top-level players. Together, they can be a real threat to any defense.

These remarks reflect the coach’s growing confidence in his star duo ahead of the upcoming World Cup fixtures.
