A number of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s former clubs have come forward to pay tribute to his amazing career after the striker confirmed his retirement.
The Milan fans were rewarded with a win last night Olivier Giroud got the opener from the penalty spot before a late brace from Rafael Leao sealed a victory to finish the campaign, but the night belonged to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his emotional farewell to football.
Ibrahimović became known and loved around the world for his acrobatic strikes and volleys, powerful long-range shots, his excellent technique and ball control but above all his charisma and character.
He is regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time and is one of the most decorated footballers ever with 34 trophies to his name, as well as over 570 career goals.
The 41-year-old leaves Milan as a legend, but social media posts from the likes of Manchester United, Ajax and PSG make it clear that he is held in the highest regard by most of his old clubs.
🏆 A distinguished career for a man like no other.
Congratulations on everything you’ve achieved and all the best in your retirement, @Ibra_Official ❤️#MUFC pic.twitter.com/uYFC2hd2SW
