AC Milan had not won a title since 2004 then Ibrahimovic inspired them to win it last season. Serie A is not what it once was like in the late 80s or 90s but it's still a top league. He did well at Barcelona too, scored important goals and broke a record. I guess unless he played in England some people will never see what's great about him. It's a shame that some people can't appreciate a great player. |

His less than impressive record in Europe will always be brought up when he's discussed in England though. I mean, look at Berbatov |

I'm just reading about it, seems really odd! It's a fun read so far though. |

Maybe I understood it wrongly but it seems like you were saying that just because you don't want Ibrahimovic playing for United it means in some way he's not a good player.If that's what you meant, then yes your logic (or opinion if you want) is stupid.If you meant something else then my bad

He's a phenom, from his amazing skill-set relative to his huge frame, consistent goalscoring and more importantly his incredible ability to affect the fortunes of the attack of whichever club he's at. He doesn't need teams to be built around him but his ability usually results in it happening. Milan have no right to be where they currently are without having had Cassano or Pato present for most of the season. Ibra has carried that team while bringing out great performances from Robinho and El Shaarrawy. |

He had a very scrutinized and ultimately unsatisfactory stint at Barça (Despite 21 goals and a 12 assists) but I left very impressed with his skill set...I've been watching some variation of skilled and highly technical players at the club for more than 13 years now...I hadn't seen a big man with skills like Ibra's ever really
He dumped on Pep on the way out but I still really like the player...And is there a player who can strike the ball with more force than him atm?...It's like a missile being launched from his boots Plus, he is the best interview in football, easily edging out Balotelli or Arshavin |

nice guy, unassuming, objective United fan. Thinks hes intelligent though. Nutter

Hasn't he won the title like seven or eight seasons in a row? Won it with Juventus twice in a row even though they were strapped those titles, won with Ajax before that, won with Inter, won in his only season with Barcelona and won with Milan. It's like he always wins. What's even more impressivr is the fact that I think only Barcelona won the league the season before his arrival.

Excellent video.
He still frustrates me though, it seems like when hes good hes spectacular, but when hes off form hes as good as being a man down. Incredibly technical ability for such a big player it has to be said. |

To be fair, in that game they were missing Iniesta and Alves, two players who totally transform their team, and were also missing Pique and Puyol in the middle, playing with with two midfielders as their CB's instead, while Milan had pretty much their starting XI.
Zlatan had a decent game in that match though. It will be a different ball game this time around and it will be interesting to see how he fares. I am not sure it'll be a cakewalk but I reckon it will be relatively comfortable for Barca. |

Personally I don't see it being comfortable for Barca at all. That Milan side are tougher to beat than many think. Barca are the better side but they will face a real test this time round.

To be honest i see Barcelona has having one of those seasons, they are struggling at times but when it comes to the big games they will probably put on a performance. I still think they will retain the CL for the first time this season, no league to worry about as Madrid have won it already so they can actually afford to rest players for it.. what a luxury with a squad like barcelonas.
No doubt this is the tie of the round but Zlatan knows more than any the difficulty they face. It'll take magic from him and he says himself that the more you want it and try for it the harder it comes and we all know how bad he'll want this... |

He was given scraps and manage to produce a few good things with them.I think he did well but it's not easy when your midfield doesn't have the players to create and pass the ball to you.Technically he's something else
