Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are considered to be the best players in the world,
meaning everyone else's achievements can 💯 fly under the radar.
This includes Zlatan
Ibrahimovic - one of the finest strikers in the modern game having won 31 💯 trophies and
titles in Italy and Spain - who is still banging in the goals for fun Milan at the 💯 age
of 40.

when he was 💯 34 years old

He has eight in 15 💯 Serie A matches this season, a remarkable return for a
man who has scored in four consecutive decades since starting 💯 out with Malmo in
1999.
To put his figures into perspective, Ibrahimovic has the same number of league
goals as Ronaldo, 💯 whilst he has six more goals than Messi at this stage of the
season.
Messi, by his usual incredible standards, is 💯 having a poor campaign.
Big things
were expected when of him when he swapped Barcelona for Paris in the summer but 💯 he has
seven goals in 20 appearances, with five of them coming in the Champions League. It's a
good job 💯 it's Real Madrid next for a man who used to revel in scoring against them.

Ibrahimovic, though, had quite a different experience 💯 at the Ligue
1 club when he was the same age.
In his fourth and final season at the Parc des
💯 Princes, Ibrahimovic had arguably the best season of his career and made history with
his goal-scoring exploits.
He became the club's 💯 single-season top scorer and Ligue 1's
2024/16 top scoring player with 38 goals - two in a 4-0 win over 💯 Nantes saw him bow out
of France in style before heading to Manchester United.
Messi can often do the
unthinkable, but 💯 with just two goals to his name this season, it’s safe to say he won’t
net another 36 goals in 💯 the 14 remaining games to match Ibra’s tally.

someone who is ready to hang up his boots Credit: IG: @iamzlatanibrahimovic
He has
💯 scored more than 570 career goals, including more than 500 club goals and has done it
for ten different teams 💯 in five different counties.
A look at his incredible workouts
in the gym suggest there's a few more years left in 💯 the tank yet.
Perhaps people will
understand just how good he is when he hangs up his boots once in for 💯 all.
