Perhaps it shouldn’t have come as a shock given his age, but the football world still dropped its jaw when Zlatan Ibrahimovic announced that his career is over. The Swedish world star has dominated in country after country, and year after year, since the breakthrough in Malmö over 20 years ago.

Completed career

However, Ibrahimovic has had major injury problems in recent years, but has still fought back every time. But after Milan’s last game of the season, he stood in front of the San Siro crowd and thanked him. For good. And the reactions have been enormous.

Before Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his infamous comeback to Blågult, Ibra attacked Janne Andersson, over his decision to put Kulusevski on the bench when he recently made a big breakthrough in Serie A.

“What a fucking joke. Another proof. Incompetent people in the wrong positions suffocating Swedish football,” Ibrahimovic wrote on Twitter.

Later, Ibrahimovic and Janne Andersson teamed up, and thus Kulusevski got to play with his idol Zlatan in the blue and yellow shirt.
