[6]

[13] On 10 August 2020, Johnsson made 13 saves in a 0–1 loss to Manchester United in the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League quarter-finals – the most saves in a Europa League game by a goalkeeper since 2009. [14] On 3 June 2023, his departure from the club was confirmed. [15]

International career

Johnsson represented Sweden at U19 level before moving up to the Swedish U21 team and debuting against the Slovakian U21 team in 2009. Over time Johnsson was able to work himself into becoming the first choice goalkeeper in the U21 team.
