Viktor Gyökeres got just over 60 minutes in the Champions League final.
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard was not impressed.
– He has given away every single ball, he says TNT Sports.
The Swedish striker was substituted in the 66th minute, at 1-1.
However, he never managed to create any real dangerous scoring chances for Arsenal.
During extra time, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard made a sour statement:
– Gyökeres has given away every single ball. It hasn’t stuck with him once, says Gerrard in TNT Sports.
The Swede had then just been cautioned, after losing the ball and being forced to bring down Goncalo Ramos.
