Gyökeres has now scored goals in eight consecutive matches this season. The goal at Estádio José Alvalade was his twelfth since the beginning of August and his first in the tournament.
We were a bit shaky in the beginning, but created a few good chances and I managed to score a goal, says Gyökeres to Viaplay.
He scored three of the national team's goals in the winning matches against Azerbaijan (4–1) and Estonia (3–0) in the Nations League recently.
In the league, he has eight goals in five matches.
In other words, it's no wonder that Sporting has set a sky-high release clause. Around 1.1 billion Swedish kronor is the price tag for the club that wants to recruit the 26-year-old. There is interest, but so far the sum has been deterrent. Gyökeres would like to move on, but has no hurry.
I can't complain about anything and it's absolutely no problem for me to stay. It's clear that you aim for other leagues and to reach a higher level, but I have no stress, he said in connection with the national team gathering.
National team defender Gabriel Gudmundsson, starter against Estonia in the Nations League recently, started on Lille's bench.
From there, he saw Zeno Debast's long shot go into the top corner for 2–0 to Sporting.
Slot finally got to celebrate
At San Siro, Christian Pulisic scored already after three minutes and gave Milan a dream start.
Liverpool's players and leaders wore mourning bands since a visiting supporter had died in a traffic accident earlier in the day. So far, a sad birthday for the club's manager Arne Slot. It would become more enjoyable.
Ibrahima Konaté nodded in Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross to 1–1 and shortly before halftime, it was Virgil van Dijk's turn to successfully use his head on Konstantinos Tsimikas' corner.
Liverpool won 3–1.
Goal fest for Kane
Harry Kane scored a hat-trick, including penalties, and a goal when Bayern Munich demolished Dinamo Zagreb with an incredible 9–2 at home.
With that, he surpassed Wayne Rooney's previous CL record of 30 goals for an Englishman.
Kane is now up to 33.
A bit of a crazy match. The first time I've scored three penalties, he says to Viaplay.
Kylian Mbappé started the CL campaign for reigning champions Real Madrid by scoring the 1–0 goal in the 3–1 win at home against Stuttgart.
