What Did Zlatan Ibrahimović Say About Being The GOAT?
Over the years Ibrahimović has been known, to say the least, as a confident character, synonymous with great quotes and outrageous headlines, and he’s stayed true to form on this occasion.
In a recent interview with Piers Morgan in which the Swedish striker also discussed Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United struggles, the former Paris Saint-Germain man was asked who he thought was the greatest footballer of all time.
In true Zlatan fashion, Ibrahimović responded: “I think I’m the best, without joking. I’m the most complete player that ever existed. [In terms of] skills and all this.
“When we talk pure, only the player, their ability, I think 100% no joking.”
However, in a rare moment of humility, Ibrahimović did concede that if the decision was based on trophies, then he would not be in the conversation: “If we talk about I didn’t win the Golden Ball, no I didn’t. I didn’t win the Champions League, no. If those things matter, no I’m probably not on that list”
