The 32 year was elated by his feat and dedicated his achievement to all Swedish fans as he took of his
shirt to reveal a message for the fans. It read: 'Ni gjorde det mojligt,' which means 'You made it all possible' in English.


The Swedish talisman was asked which was his favorite from the 50 he scored he replied, "The most beautiful was against England, no one's
going to beat that, but all goals are important," referring to his stunning 30 yard overhead kick against them.
