Zlatan Ibrahimovic announced his retirement after AC Milan’s 3-1 win against Hellas Verona, after keeping the decision a secret to everyone. And now, on his Instagram, he has published a farewell message.
The 41-year-old shared his thoughts on retirement during a press conference after the decision (read it here), but he hadn’t published anything on his social media up until today.
On his Instagram page, he published a long and emotional message, thanking the fans and the clubs for making him the person he is:
“It started with a dream. A dream that turned impossible into I’m possible.
I was born in Malmö. Grew up in Amsterdam. Turned wiser in Turin. I became a lion in Barcelona. Was raised in Milan and got new perspectives in Paris. Gained stamina in Manchester and had some fun in Los Angeles. And then finally found peace in my new homeland in Milan.
I am made by you. And the legacy I hope to leave behind is all the new Zlatans made by me. All of those who have the heart of a lion. All of those who have the burning fire in their eyes. All of those who truly understand that impossible is nothing.
Thanks for everything. Mino, we made it! The ride is over. It’s been an amazing journey. I miss you.”

He doesn’t mention something memorable in his first carrer at Milano (with inter), he skipped it, straight from Turin to Barcelona. 🤣
