Although Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not play in the last Serie A round due to injury, it was still mostly about him.
As usual.
Milan have confirmed that Ibrahimovic will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the month and to pay tribute to their hero, the supporters unfurled a giant tifo in the 41-year-old’s honor ahead of kick-off against Hellas Verona at the San Siro.
“Good Bye,” read the tribute. A play on words – Ibrahimovic usually likens himself to God.
When the chants reached their climax, even Ibrahimovic couldn’t hold back the tears. From the VIP stand, next to partner Helena Seger, he waved happily to the audience and shaped his hands into a heart.
What Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s future looks like is unclear. He has not finished with a new team, nor has he announced that his career would be over.
