In a move we have dubbed "the flying Zlatan," Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave John Terry a forearm-shiver Saturday when PSG met up with Chelsea in the International Champions Cup.
There were claims that this was an elbow from Zlatan, but he clearly uses his forearm and not his elbow.
What could John Terry have done to provoke the wrath of Zlatan?
Hold on to your hats, America. In the coming years, it looks like MLS is set to get a lot more Swedish. And awesome.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic told reporters Thursday that he would like to go to MLS at some point. The 33-year-old striker has one more year on his contract at Paris Saint-Germain.
He told Yahoo Sports:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic says what he feels all of the time, and a lot of the time that involves letting someone know that he is better than them.
When asked who he thought was the best looking woman in the world, he responded, “I don’t know, but when I find her I will date her.”
He’s arrogant, there is no getting around that, but hearing his ignorance it is hard to not think of a famous Muhammad Ali quote: it’s not bragging if you can back it up.
There have been rumors abounding lately that a certain tall Swedish PSG striker is going to make a move to Manchester United.
(Jay Z voice) Let's end the speculation I'm talkin' to all of y'all.
Zlatan is not going to Manchester United. Zlatan doesn't like Louis van Gaal.
Here is a section of a Sports Illustrated interview from last year. (the whole interview is worth a read):
Lucas Moura would like to set the record straight regarding Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Lucas said that his PSG teammate is actually a nice guy, a far cry from his outspoken, incendiary public persona.
"He is very different from what people think - he is a very nice guy in real life," Lucas told French newsaper L'Equipe.
What? This is not what we were expecting at all. You mean Zlatan doesn't force his teammaates to call him "King Ibra" and give them wedgies? That's no fun.
TMZ asked Zlatan his thoughts on the FIFA scandal, and it went about as well as you'd expect.
"I don't know. It's not my area. I play soccer," Zlatan said.
Hear that? ZLATAN CALLED IT SOCCER. This is further proof that America is taking over the game. It's no longer "football." It's "soccer." Zlatan said so.
Now that one of the best players in the world called it soccer, the can be no stopping it. Get used to soccer, rest of the world.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's weekend was better than your weekend.
Zlatan bagged a brace in Sweden's Euro 2016 qualifier against Montenegro. That's not unusual in and of itself. Well, for non-Zlatan persons it is. It's pretty standard for Ibra though.
Zlatan faced off against Martin Odegaard as Sweden tied Norway 0-0, and he was his usual candid self after the match.
Liverpool are, according to members of the press, close to signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic for $16 million from Paris St Germain. Can you believe it?? No, us neither.
Apparently there's a lady Zlatan, Kosovare Asllani, and she's going to play against the U.S. in the World Cup.
