In what has been dubbed “the most Zlatan moment yet,” Zlatan Ibrahimovic entered the San Siro with a cigar and champagne after winning his 32nd trophy of his glittering career.
The 40-year-old Swedish enigma, who continues to prove that age is just a number, contributed eight goals and several game-winning performances to help AC Milan win their first Serie A title in 11 years.
Ibrahimovic has only made 12 league starts this season after scoring 16 goals in 26 games last season, but his impact has been huge in recent months, both on and off the pitch.
Ibrahimovic described his “greatest satisfaction” as winning the title with Milan.
“When I returned, at the press conference, I said that I would bring Milan back to the top,” he said.
“Many were laughing and now we are here and we won the Scudetto. We made many sacrifices, but nothing is impossible. I have suffered a lot this year, I will speak in the next few days, but I want to enjoy this trophy.”
He also dedicated the trophy win to former agent Mino Raiola, who passed away last month.
“I dedicate it to Mino Raiola,” he said. “I was close to Napoli, then he told me that I was the only one who could save Milan. So I dedicate it to him.”
