As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports this morning (via MilanNews), Ibra is back to making Milan great and in the post-match he declared that he still believes in the Scudetto. Ibra – before the kick-off – gathered his team-mates in a circle and charged them for the match, and on the pitch he was a leader as he scored the opening goal and was a point of reference.
The 39-year-old will today travel to join the Swedish national team after almost five years away, and he does so having achieved another record: he is the first Milan player to have scored at least fifteen goals in his first fifteen appearances in a single league season.
