GettyWHAT HAPPENED?
Enigmatic frontman Ibrahimovic returned to San Siro for a second spell in 2020. Injuries would eventually force the legendary forward to hang up his boots, but not until his remarkable career had been extended well beyond a 40th birthday celebration.
New Press/Getty ImagesWHAT COSTACURTA SAID
Iconic defender Costacurta has told FourFourTwo of seeing Ibrahimovic erase one of his entries in the history books: "It annoyed me because I wanted to remain in Milan’s history and Zlatan took that from me. I played until 41 because I was lucky never to have a serious injury - I just broke my knee once. Otherwise, I was very careful about my body, what I ate and drank, and how I slept. There were no incredible secrets."
