"The veteran midfielder continued to shine in his second campaign with the Red Bulls, starting 32 of a possible 34 league matches with 11 goals and 10 assists, becoming the first player since the legendary Thierry Henry in 2014 to put up 10-plus goals and assists in a single season. He is only one of two players in franchise history to record multiple goals and assists in a single match, doing so during a 7-0 victory over the LA Galaxy in May."
"With 90 career appearances for Sweden, Forsberg is one of just 16 players to collect 90 or more caps for the national team. His 21 goals are tied for 14th in national team history. Among his most important international goals is the game-winning strike against Switzerland in the Round of 16 at the 2018 World Cup, which punched Sweden's ticket to the quarterfinals for the first time since 1994 in the United States."
Emil Forsberg was recalled to the Swedish national team for 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Switzerland and Slovenia. The 34-year-old saw fewer call-ups after moving from RB Leipzig to New York but produced strongly for the Red Bulls, starting 32 of 34 league matches with 11 goals and 10 assists. He became the first player since Thierry Henry in 2014 to register double-digit goals and assists in a single season for the club and logged multiple goals and assists in a 7-0 win over LA Galaxy. Forsberg has 90 caps and 21 goals for Sweden and scored the decisive 2018 World Cup Round of 16 goal versus Switzerland. Sweden missed Qatar 2022 and face slim prospects for 2026 qualification.
