Bengt Erik Markus Berg (Swedish pronunciation:[ˈmǎrːkɵsˈbærj]; born 17 August 1986) is a Swedish former professionalfootballer who played as astriker. He is currently assistant coach forAllsvenskan clubIFK Göteborg. Beginning his footballing career in Sweden with IFK Göteborg in the early 2000s, Berg went on to play professionally in the Netherlands, Germany, Greece, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia before returning to IFK Göteborg in 2021.
A full international between 2008 and 2021, Berg won 90caps and scored 24 goals for theSweden national team. He represented his country atUEFA Euro 2016, the2018 FIFA World Cup, andUEFA Euro 2020.
After spending two years in the youth team, during the 2005 season Berg was promoted to the regular squad and played forIFK Göteborg in theAllsvenskan. During the time playing for IFK Göteborg, he played alongside his older brotherJonatan.[2]
Berg played for IFK Göteborg until the 2007 summer and put forth an attracting performance throughout his final season, as he maintained a high scoring efficiency throughout the league matches. Göteborg won the league that season and Berg received a standing ovation upon leaving the field after the 5–0 away victory overKalmar FF where Berg scored, which was his last for the club because of his suspension for the game againstDjurgårdens IF.[citation needed]
Among dedicated IFK Göteborg supporters, Berg is known asSvarte-Marcus ("Black Marcus") due to his many goals in the Göteborg youth and reserve teams, and later also senior team. The nickname is an homage to the legendary IFK Göteborg strikerFilip"Svarte-Filip" Johansson.[3]
On 10 August 2007, Dutch clubFC Groningen signed Berg for a reported£2.5 million[4] to replace the departingAjax-boundLuis Suárez.
Berg had a good debut season in the Netherlands. Although he was not the top scorer in theEredivisie in2007–08, he scored 18 goals for Groningen, helping the Dutch outfit to a seventh-place finish.
In the2008–09 season, Groningen remained top of the Eredivisie table after five games played. Berg had a good display as well.[5] He managed to score 13 goals in 15 matches. He also scored four goals in a December game againstRoda JC.
On 17 July 2009, GermanBundesliga sideHamburger SV confirmed that Berg had signed a five-year contract with the club.[6][7] The official FC Groningen website mentioned it was a record fee paid for a Groningen player.Dagblad van het Noorden, a Dutch newspaper, stated that Berg swapped clubs for €10.5 million. The contract also mentioned that a friendly match will be played between Groningen and Hamburg in the summer of 2010 or 2011 in theEuroborg, the main stadium of Groningen. Although initially the fee of €9.5 million was too high for Hamburg, Berg's desire of moving to the Bundesliga persuaded Groningen to complete the transfer. In his first Bundesliga game for Hamburg, playing at home againstBorussia Dortmund, Berg scored his first goal for the club in the 72nd minute, just 182 seconds after coming off the bench, a record in the club's history. Despite the promising start, his debut season in the Bundesliga would not become a success, with Berg only scoring three additional goals in 30 appearances.
On 17 July 2010,PSV and Hamburg agreed to a season-long loan deal for Berg.[8]
After returning from his loan spell at PSV, Berg only made 13 appearances the2011–12 Bundesliga due to injuries and continued lack of form, scoring once. On 9 November 2012, Hamburger SV athletic supervisorFrank Arnesen stated that the club had to sell five players to raise funds after having invested heavily in new players in the previous summer, including Dutch starRafael van der Vaart; one of these five players was said to be Berg.[9] After these news, Berg was linked with a return to his former club IFK Göteborg.[10]

On the first derby of the year againstPAOK, Berg scored Panathinaikos' goal and lost a penalty, as his team lost with a score of 2–1. On 2 March 2014, Berg was the MVP in the3–0 away victory againstOlympiacos with one goal and one assist forDanijel Pranjić. This was the biggest away victory in the history of the Eternal Rivals. The following week, he scored ahat-trick when Panathinaikos defeatedAris 4–1 at home.[12]

Swedish press criticised this decision and Berg demanded first team football in the National Team after the final whistle."Ola Toivonen is a kind of a different player than me and this decision has been taken. But it's pretty clear that I want to play as I'm in a decent form," the Panathinaikos striker underlined straight after the game.[18] On 7 November 2015, he scored the winning goal in the 10th day of theGreek Superleague match againstAtromitos, It was his 50th goal with the club in all competitions.[19] On 24 January 2016, almost 2.5 months since his last goal in the Superleague, Berg scored leading his club to away 2–0 victory againstLevadiakos.[20] On 6 March 2016, Swedish striker and fans of Panathinaikos' favorite Berg reached 100 official appearances with the Greek club at a home game against Atromitos.[21] On 19 March 2016, he scored a brace againstIraklis for the Superleague.[22][23] On 17 April 2016, in the last matchday for the2015–16 season, Berg scored five times (23', 41', 45+2', 51', 62') in his team's 6–1 victory againstPanthrakikos.[24] On 18 August 2016, Berg was the scorer of two goals, helping Panathinaikos win the first leg of theUEFA Europa League play offs and is set to qualify for the group stage, as the Greens crushed DanishBrøndby IF 3–0 at Leoforos stadium.[25]
On 6 September 2016, Berg stepped into retired Sweden national team captainZlatan Ibrahimović's vacant boots to open the scoring in Stockholm just two minutes before the break againstNetherlands, as he capitalised onKevin Strootman's defensive mishap to smash in from outside the box into the top left corner.[26] On 18 September 2016, he was the scorer of two goals, helping the club to achieve a 4–0 home win againstPAS Giannina. It was his first goals for the2016–17 season.[27] On 23 September 2016, Berg extended his three-year contract for an annual fee of €1.1 million and with a €10 million release clause.[28] Panathinaikos has 55% of Berg's rights,Hamburger SV has 45% and the rest 10% belongs to the player. On 19 January, was the scorer of two goals, helping the club, to achieve a 2–1 home win againstPlatanias, helping the club climbing in the third place of Superleague.[29] On 30 January 2017, Panathinaikos announced the agreement for the extension of Berg's contract till the summer of 2019. On 12 February 2017, he was the scorer of three goals in a Superleague 4–0 home win againstPanetolikos.

He became the leading scorer of Superleague so far and named MVP of the march.[31] On 11 March 2017, Panathinaikos striker scored his 24th goal into the season breaking his own record since he joined the Greens. The Swedish striker continues to be in great form as he scored once again in Panathinaikos's 1–1 Superleague draw withIraklis.[32] On 19 March 2017, Berg scored for the third time in his "green" career in thederby against Olympiacos in Panathinaikos's win with 1–0 at home.[33] Berg scored twice on 2 April 2017 againstAEK Athens in the away win 2–3 in theAthens derby.[34] On 6 April 2017, Panathinaikos won 1–0Panionios atLeoforos Stadium, thanks to a penalty kick by Berg.

On 18 May 2017, the Swedish striker will miss the remainder ofSuperleague play-offs because he will serve four-game suspension. The 31-year-old international and captain of the Greens showed unprofessional behavior on home clash against PAOK (1–0), which was finally interrupted by referee Giorgos Kominis at 55', and will not perform at the four remaining matches.[36]
On 20 June 2017, the Administration of Panathinaikos rejected the first offer ofAl Ain FC (€2.5–3 million) about the purchase of experienced Swedish striker. The Greens are holding the 55% of the rights of 31-year-old international (his former team, Hamburger SV, have the other 35%), whose current contract expires in the summer of 2019, with a buy-out clause of €5.2 million, but the negotiations with the UAE club are expected to be continued, while Berg has already agreed to sign a two (plus one) years' season contract with Al Ain, with an annual salary of €3 million after taxes.[37]

Berg, has agreed to a two-year contract, although there exists an option to renew. He replaces in the squad Saudi Arabia strikerNasser Al-Shamrani. A statement from Panathinaikos read: "Unfortunately, Marcus Berg chose to leave Panathinaikos because he felt that at that time, close to the end of his career, he wanted to get a big financial benefit. There were some misunderstandings during the negotiations. We forget them, as Marcus has offered a lot to Panathinaikos. We wish him good luck in the step he chose and wait for him if he wishes to close his career in our club."[38][39]
