Been watching him since he was at Juve, he was at that time criticized for not scoring enough.

He is a complete striker and will probably always make my fantasy starting 11.

it’s weird that Inter was the club that prevented him twice from reaching the final of the CL. He must have a weird emotional relationship with this club, since as mentioned, he played some of his best football at Inter but since he left they blocked him
twice from winning the CL

tbf he wouldn't really have this year in any case since he wasn't in Milan's CL squad.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Hellas Verona fans: “Keep booing. This is the biggest moment in your year seeing me”.

Playing for top clubs in his entire career and only reached CL semi-final twice, with zero goal contribution, and even worse NT performance, and now the media is hyping him as one of the best football legends in history :lol:

I'll never forget his free kick against our very own Frey, ridiculous goal.

Didn't really care about him even as our player, don't really care today as he leaves football. Entertaining player though.

I wish to thank him for the swap of the century that gave us the CL though.

Yeah, I loved him, but getting Eto'o + money for him was just too good. Still think Eto'o was probably the best attacking player we had since Ronaldo. Those two seasons were mostly perfect by him.

I'm 30-70 on that, which means he's definitely Former Players by the standards of most other posters.

Great player, tended to choke in big games, never found Inter as his home.

Former.

Also not world class as per browha.

HOT TAKE INCOMING

While let's say I agree that choked in big games, he wasn't the only player in those big games. I remember Cambiasso being bad as well, but because 1. he stayed at Inter 2. won CL with Inter in 2010 - nobody will talk about how he wasn't good enough for Inter in CL in the Mancini years.

Feels somewhat unfair that only Ibra gets the hate for those games.

Decent player overall, with a half dozen years or so when he was great. One less athlete refering to himself in the third person, but made good copy though.

You're totally right. That's how Cambiasso became LGI. Ibra couldn't do that, therefore, former.


In fact, I'd much rather have Adriano in LGI than Zlatan.

You really think it's reasonable for people to make a person, who 1. never settled at Inter 2. trash talked the team for over a decade 3. never really elevated the team performance, LGI? Check your head mate.

You want me to have Lukaku, who won us the Scudetto and brought us to the CL final also scored more than Zlatan, LGI too? Stop pretending you dont understand the point here.

I'm not saying Cambiasso doesn't deserve LGI and I'm not saying Ibra deserves LGI.

I'm just saying that people will keep attacking Ibra for choking in CL (and he keeps attacking Inter), but I'll always remember that the most of Mancini's team didn't perform well in CL, not just Ibra. But that the Ibra led team overall wasn't good enough doesn't matter anymore because we won the trippletta (with a half of the team changed). Some are trying to make it look like Ibra was the only change that was made and that's funny to me.
