GettyWHAT HAPPENED?
Confidence was never a quality that the enigmatic Swedish striker lacked throughout his playing days, with a larger-than-life character happy to talk up his qualities to anybody that would listen. Ibrahimovic did have plenty to support his argument, with an enviable haul of major honours collected.
Getty/GOALWHAT MATERAZZI SAID
Ibrahimovic always billed himself as a sporting “god”, but ex-Inter team-mate Materazzi has told LuckyBlock of why the legendary figure is not the greatest of all-time: “He thinks he was the best player in the world. This is not my opinion. But he is a big, big player for me. He’s scored a lot of goals historically.
“He’s won many titles, maybe not the most important titles, because he lost Champions Leagues, World Cups, European Championships, but won maybe 20 Scudetti. He is a big player; he is a crack. But he is not Messi, he is not Ronaldo, he is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. But in the future everybody will know about him.”
