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 Real Madrid might appear to be overwhelming favorites to beat San Lorenzo in the Club World Cup final, the South American champions seem to have divine intervention on their side. Ever since San Lorenzo supporter Jorge Bergoglio became Pope Francis, they can’t stop winning trophies. First they won Argentina’s Primeria Division, then they won Copa Libertadores for the first time in the club’s history.
The time has come. The prayers to myself to finally make this the season that I, Zlatan, win the Champions League have been completed and the Champions League round of 16 ties are set. Why have I not answered my own prayers sooner? Because Zlatan works in mysterious ways. Now it’s time for the Zlanalysis.
Like a tornado of bitterness and resentment trying to disguise itself as a friendly typhoon, Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to Barcelona on Wednesday with PSG for the Champions League match that would decide the winner of Group F. Though he only spent one season with Barca, the events of that period were the basis for the most vitriolic passages of his autobiography and wounds that seem to still haven’t totally healed four years later. And so, all eyes were on Zlatan during the match. Just as he likes it.
It started with Zlatan celebrating after he would score a goal just like everyone else. Now he’s celebrating while he’s scoring goals.
The wrath of Zlatan is not something you want to mess with, but sometimes there’s a hitch in its giddyup that produces unintended results.
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.
