Sweden's all-time top goal scorer is an undeniable icon of the world’s game who, at 40 years old, has proved how longevity can be achieved at the highest level of sport. A career that spans 3 decades has seen him travel across Europe and even lend to his talents to the American MLS, but when, and where did he play his best football?

    • I think we should factor in longevity in our debates on top 3 players. Players who can continually remain world-class into the twilight of their careers demonstrate way more grit than the overperforming younger guys Yes CR7, Messi, and Zlatan aren’t as prolific as they used to be but they still remain crucial players who lead their teams in the UCL (just as they were when they were young)

The longevity of his is amazing , and not only that but he continues to play at the highest level and still actually perform . There's been guys who are 35+ and still played n performed sure , but usually at lower skilled leagues and not into their 40's as Zlatan . I don't even see Ronaldo n Messi going at 40yrs old n still delivering as Zlatan does . This Guy is built different , a special breed

That season he was THE best footballer in the world and nobody can change my mind. People tend to forget how huge the transfer to Barca were and it wasn't for no reason.....21 goals and 16 assists in a season where he were both sidelined and injured and ppl say he flopped?!

At Inter he would utilize dribbling more and play a bigger part in the build up to attacks. I'd still say he was better at AC/PSG

    • Right? What an insane front three! Should see what I could do with Håland and Mbappe, on Fifa these days tho - my stats are amazing. I had both Håland and Mbappe playing 50+ matches, and both of them scored more goals and making more assists than the games I played them in :P Håland was like 55 games played, 60 goals scored and 56 assists. More for Mbappe, in all metrics :p

    • All I remember from that time is everyone using PSG to cross in the area and score headers. Now in FIFA22 with the front 3 in psg it's all pace and going threw defenders like if they were invisible. It's like they never learned how to play the game and just follow what everybody else did.

    • He is the 3rd top goalscorer among those that are still active players. Ronaldo and Messi are no1 and 2. But there are several players before him on the "all time scoring list" incl Pele, Romario, Puskas, Eusebio, Gerd Muller, to name a few. However I think You can 't really compare for example Zlatan and Puskas stats as football have changed and developed so much and today it is so much more demanding. I admire Zlatan not just for his physical strength and abilities but also for his mental strength where he is second to none !

  • He was his best at 3 clubs: 1. AC Milan in his first run when he lead a team majorly built around retiring legends in their finals seasons and the greatest wonderkid who failed, Alexander Pato. Supported by young Stephan El Shaarawy, Robinho, Seedorf and veteran Inzaghi. 2. His next best run was with PSG who was amidst of massive rebuild after Oil Money takeover similar to Man City with Cavani, Lavazzi, Verrati, Silva, Cabaye, Moura, Pastore in a relatively easier league where scored for fun. His partnership with Cavani was most lethal of all club he ever played with. 3. Manchester United run is most underrated given his age, and Man Utd was under a massive post-SAF rebuild under Jose after terrible seasons under LVG & Moyes, most of the squad was old with Rooney, Bastian, Marouane Fellaini, Antonio Valencia, Michael Carrick, Juan Mata, while some players like Rashy yet too young. Even then he lifted 3 trophies, maximum United has in one season since SAF including Euorpa League, his only Continental Success till date. Also in a season where he scored 28 goals with Rashy, Mata, Wazza, and Mkhi having 11-10 each in just 27+1 matches. His goal with Sweden against England or his goals in MLS with acrobatic handling, and his finishing he is one of the greatest player alongside Messi & Ronaldo who never won UCL. My List of GOATs: 1. Messi 2. Ronaldo 3.Zlatan 4. Wazza 5. Neymar

  • For me it has his 2 seasons in Milan. It was not a vintage AC Milan side, they were ageing and already moving downhill. When Ibrahimovic arrived he stopped the decline almost on his own. They went from challenging for 3-4th positions in Serie A to winning it then finishing 2nd. He was an immense leader on the pitch, won many games by himself and produced imperious displays throughout 2010-11. He scored goals, set up for others and challenged his teammates. Many of them became bang average once he left. You can also see since his return to Milan that there is a special bond between this club and him. Much more than with Man United, PSG, Barcelona, Juventus or even Inter.

Can dribble, pass the ball equisitly, score the easy and the hard goals, hold up play, due to his size and strenght he won most duals with defenders, amazing shotpower, and freekicks and penalties, and most importantly he was consistently the star player at every club he played for, and more often then not, he could singlehandedly win the game with a shot or a pass, game after game. And last but not least he's throughout his career scored the most beautiful goals from any one player in football history.
