Pietro Mazzara’s column for MilanNews concludes with a ‘very bitter consideration’ on Ibrahimovic, who sustained a new calf problem while warming up to come on during yesterday’s 2-0 win over Lecce at San Siro.

It feels like ‘even “God Zlatan” must surrender’ as per the journalist, because even though he still has an impressive physique and wants to keep playing to help the team, there seems to be an ‘unwillingness to accept the fact that the mind thinks one thing, but the body reacts in another way’.

This highlights a bit of a ‘fragility’ regarding the Swede which means that he is limping towards a season finale after which, in all probability, Milan ‘will not renew his contract’.

There is no doubting the 41-year-old has given a lot to Milan since his return in the 2019-20 season, but all good things must come to an end.
