Zlatan Ibrahimovic was harshly sent off 31 minutes into the second leg of the Chelsea-PSG Champions League round of 16 tie for a 50-50 challenge with Oscar. Despite being reduced to 10 men, PSG pushed a lackluster Chelsea side to extra time, where they recovered from going a goal down to advance on away goals.
After the match, Zlatan said, “The worst is when I get the red card, all the Chelsea players come around — that, for me, I don’t know, it felt like I had 11 babies around me.”
When Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored in PSG’s 2-2 draw against Caen on Saturday, he solemnly removed his shirt to reveal that his body appeared to be covered in more tattoos than usual. The new body art was all names and the sheer amount of them prompted jokes from some viewers. Others, meanwhile, scolded him for getting a yellow card for the seemingly frivolous offense, since it earned him a suspension from PSG’s upcoming match against Monaco for yellow card accumulation. But it turns out Zlatan did this for a good and selfless cause.
A wax figure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic was unveiled at the Grevin Museum in Paris on Monday and the real Zlatan made the most of the opportunity by taking a selfie with himself. His caption for the photo was even more Zlatan than a photo of two Zlatans, though.
Not content with just making the referee in PSG’s 1-0 win over Rennes submit to his will, Zlatan Ibrahimovic also made a Dutch journalist dance for him after the game. The reporter asked about rumors about Zlatan and Edinson Cavani not getting along on or off the pitch and Zlatan did not appreciate this. But rather than just walk away from the question, Zlatan stayed and batted him around like a bored lion with a bloodied gazelle.
The first rule of plane of existence is that Zlatan is in charge. This is an indisputable fact. To defy this rule is to make the most dangerous of enemies. Thankfully, the referee in PSG’s Ligue 1 match against Rennes was aware of this, so when Zlatan refused to approach him when he asked him to, he relented and went to Zlatan instead.
Zlatan has proven time and time again that he can score with any part of his body he chooses and his goal in PSG’s French Cup match against St. Etienne shows this includes his Kevlar-like chest.
With a powerful beat of his heart, Zlatan propelled the ball passed the goal line in the 72nd minute for the match’s only score. Have a look…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made a habit of publicly declaring himself to be God (in multiple languages), but it turns out he proclaims his messiah status behind closed doors, too.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic took time out of his conquering of the Swedish mountain tops to wish his fans a happy new year with a photo of himself dressed as a snow ninja posted to his Instagram account.
“I wish you all a happy new year! Greetings from the Swedish mountains at it’s most beautiful. And at it’s coldest. #2015#happynewyear,” says Zlatan as he casually leans against a snow covered rock, presumably after kicking the mountain to demonstrate his dominance of it.
So, just know that Zlatan is out there, dressed in an all black snowsuit and showing the world’s mountains who’s boss (hint: It’s Zlatan).
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not happy. Swedish paper Dagens Nyheter put together a list of the country’s top 150 athletes of all time and Zlatan came in at number two behind five-time Wimbledon winner Bjorn Borg.
When asked about this blatant attempt to anger him, Zlatan did not disappoint.
Though Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently described himself as “god,” there is one person on this planet that he still thinks of more highly than himself. And that’s the original Ronaldo, Il Fenomeno.
