Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a Swedish professional footballer of Bosnian and Croatian descent. He is currently playing as a striker for AC Milan and serving as the captain of the Swedish national team. In August 2010, he moved from Barcelona to AC Milan on loan for the 2010-11 season, with Milan paying all his earnings. The deal also provided Milan an option to buy him for €24 million at the end of the season.

Ibrahimovic has won many awards, including Guldbollen (2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011), and Series A Footballer of the Year (2008, 2009 and 2011). He cherished the dream of "winning everything with Milan", and has helped Milan to win the Series A 2010-11 and Supercoppa Italiana 2011. Though he is often faced with heavy criticism for his arrogance like Cristiano Ronaldo, the 195cm-tall footballer is highly recognized for his superb techniques, skillful tricks and amazing scorpion goals.
