Quotes

“They just come, I promise. It is nothing that I plan.”
“What Carew does with a football, I can do with an orange.”
“I'm not used to winning nothing – it's the first time it's happened to me. I'm disappointed. It's a failure.”
“I'm number one. I really feel that way. If you think you are the second it's the end. The fact that I have never won the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player doesn't mean that I cannot be number one.”
“I went left, he went left. I went right, he went right. I went left again, he went to buy a hot dog.”
“During the World Cup in 2002 I was voted Man of the Match three times in Sweden, even though I hadn't played. The people love me.”

Zlatan Ibrahimović (born 3 October 1981) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a striker. Ibrahimović is known for his acrobatic strikes and volleys, technique, ball control, and physical dominance. He is regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time and is one of the most decorated footballers in the world, having won 34 trophies in his career. He scored over 570 career goals, including more than 500 club goals, and scored in four consecutive decades between the 1990s and the 2020s.

He departed three years later to sign for Juventus before joining domestic rivals Inter Milan in 2006. At Inter Milan, he won three consecutive Serie A titles and saw his popularity soar.

In 2016, he joined Manchester United on a free transfer, re-uniting with José Mourinho and winning the EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League in his first season. A serious knee injury in 2017 prevented him from playing for United regularly, after recovering Ibrahimović joined MLS club LA Galaxy in 2018. In January 2020, he returned to AC Milan and played a key role in reviving the Italian club, winning his fifth Serie A title in 2022. He announced his retirement at the end of the 2022–23 season.
