It’s over Zlatan Ibrahimovic. At the age of 41, the Swedish striker announced his retirement from soccer after AC Milan’s match against Verona. After a season where he only played four games due to knee problems, the ‘Rossoneri’ decided to put an end to his history in professional soccer with tears of joy.

The end of an era for Zlatan Ibrahimovic
At the end of the match at San Siro, Ibra said. “There are so many memories, so many emotions. The first time I came here you gave me happiness and the second time you gave me love. I want to thank my family and all those who are close to me for their patience and thank my second family, the players. I want to thank the coach for the responsibility and the managers for the opportunity. And the most important thing in my heart, thanks to the ‘tifosi’ for making me feel at home. I will be an AC Milan follower for life. It’s time to say goodbye to Calcio, not to you“.
Throughout his 27 seasons in the elite, Ibrahimovic has been known for his goals and for collecting titles, albeit always at the national level. He won four French league championships with PSG and four Scudetto.
During his spells at Inter and Milan, another league championship during his short but intense spell at Bara and two Eredivisie titles during his early days with Ajax. The Champions League always eluded him, a tournament that kept him from fighting for more ambitious individual awards.
