Tonight is the night that the AC Milan fans will be able to say goodbye to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and thank him for the impact he has had on the club.
MilanNews recall a particular interview that Ibrahimovic game back on 8 July 2020, when Ibrahimovic scored the first of four goals as Milan came from two goals down to beat Juventus 4-2, the side that would go on to win the Scudetto.
Zlatan tucked away a penalty that halved the deficit and gave the Rossoneri belief, sparking the comeback in the win that became a symbol of the new Pioli era.
After the match, speaking to Sky, he made a declaration that was seen as controversial at the time in true Zlatan style: “If I was here from day one, we would certainly win the Scudetto. If I’m here next year from day one, we’ll win for sure.”
Ibrahimovic also went on to say: “I won’t quite until I have won something with this Milan side.” Pioli’s men finished second the following season and won the Scudetto the one after that, as the Swede’s words came true.
