Dzekeresh hopes to help Arsenal reach the final on their Champions League night at the Emirates Stadium.

With the second leg of the Champions League semi-final approaching, Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres expressed his strong desire to advance to the Champions League final ahead of the match.

Under the lights of the Emirates Stadium, the Swedish striker is ready to lead his team in their quest for their first Champions League final spot in nearly 20 years. Dzekereš has delivered outstanding performances in this season's clashes against Atlético Madrid.

In the first leg, Dzekereš scored a crucial goal at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, helping his team to a 1-1 draw. Including his brace in the group stage, he has now scored three goals against Atlético Madrid this season.

Dzekeresh understands the importance of playing the second leg at home, saying, "With the support of our home fans, this is a great opportunity. The atmosphere in the locker room is fantastic, and we can't wait to unleash our energy on the pitch."

2026 is a breakout year for Džekereš, who has already scored 18 goals for his club and country and recently led Sweden to the USA-Mexico World Cup.

When asked about the pressure of the big tournament, Dzekeresh remained calm and composed: "I've been through many crucial moments where we had to win. Atletico Madrid's attack is extremely threatening, and we must stay focused defensively and play to our possession advantage."

Although Dzekereš just reached the milestone of 20 goals this season, he emphasized that team honors are more important than individual achievements. He admitted that the most crucial moment of the season has arrived, and the whole team has only one goal: to defeat Atlético Madrid and return to the European finals.
