Ibrahimovic, after scoring a hattrick against Saint Etienne:
"I promised him [Bayal Sall, defender in Saint Etienne] that I would score two goals today and then go off. When I scored the second one he came over and said: 'Maybe I'm the one getting subbed off instead.'"

Ibra did not leave it late. His first year at inter was meh. But you have to remember be played with a totally differently style. Drifting around. Playmaking. He was not even close to the goalscorer that he is now. He started becoming truly world class in his second season with us. Hasn't even regressed since. I would take him back in a second.

Most Diverse PosterZlatan Ibrahimovic has joked that he should receive a 40-match ban for his alleged elbow on David Alaba during Sweden's Euro 2016 qualifier with Austria in Vienna on Monday night.
The home players were furious when the Paris Saint-Germain striker escaped a red card for catching the versatile Bayern Munich midfielder in the face with his right arm.
However, Zlatan, who stands 1.95 metres tall, insisted that it was an accidental collision caused by the difference in height between two players.
“He [Alaba] goes into me twice and the third time I try to shield the ball and he [Alaba] is 1.50m or 1.60m tall and then it's clear that he's struck by my elbow," he told reporters after the game.
"But the referee blew for a free-kick so of course he has got the situation under control.
"But if not, I should get a 40-match ban!"
Alaba clearly felt that contact was deliberate, while team-mate Aleksandar Dragovic accused the referee, Pavel Kralovec, of being too afraid of the consequences of dismissing Ibrahimovic.
“It was a red card for me," the defender stated. "The referee was scared of Zlatan."
Ibrahimovic had an eventful 100th appearance for Sweden, as not only did he clash with Alaba, he also set up his country's equaliser, for Erkan Zengin, before later being booked for a late challenge on Martin Harnik.

10 years of FIFThat elbow was nasty as it actually connected with Alaba's face and was definitely deliberate. You could see him lining his elbow forward and then dragging it straight into his face
Elbowing a kid who's half the size of him, what a dirty cunt.

Alaba should stop diving. Ibra barely touched him.

10 years of FIFMost Diverse PosterIf we talk about mentality and how he acts... then it's funny how I've known people like him for most of my life, but for most in the world Zlatan is an anomaly.
As a player, he's something special, like Messi, CR and Bale.

10 years of FIFHe's a great example of pure talent. I don't know anyone who could have had the career he has with that mentality. I do agree with browha that his big game performances are lacking, but besides that he's a phenomenal player. I'd take him back any day.
