    WHAT ZLATAN SAID

    Having billed himself as a sporting deity when competing at the highest level for clubs around the world, Ibrahimovic decided to get a tattoo which read: “Only God can judge me.” He has now had that removed in a painful procedure.

    Previously explaining the tattoo, Zlatan had said: "They could write whatever they wanted in the papers. Scream anything at all from the stands. They still couldn't get at me. Only God could judge me! I liked that. You have to go your own way, so I got those words tattooed on me."

  • WHAT NEXT FOR IBRAHIMOVIC?

    Ibrahimovic remains as outspoken as ever since hanging up his boots at the age of 41, with the enigmatic Swede now filling an advisory role at AC Milan that sees him working with the likes of USMNT star Christian Pulisic and Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric.
