Zlatan has made football so enjoyable and humorous, whenever you see him you know something will happen. His character is one of a kind and he left a mark. Legend
Ibrahimovic is a world class legendary player. As striker- 1. Pele, 2. Ronaldo Nazario, 3. Ibrahimovic/ Lawandosky. Z is my favourite footballer. All the best Lion.
On the surface, Zlatan seems like the most arrogant and selfish player, but he's not. Since his first stint at Milan, he was the ultimate professional, always bringing his team mates into the game, motivating them and raising the standards of the whole team. He made teams better. Even if he's not the most decorated striker, that sort of impact is invaluable.
i mean the puskas award, being the best ever 6'3+ player of all time, his league title collection, makes him extremely decorated and in context, ibra is severely undervalued for what he achieved in serie a, without any mobile wingers. a 6'3 striker like haaland gets walker, bernardo, grealish, mahrez, foden, alvarez, all running for him while ibra barely got service and still produced insanity on his own essentially
No arrogant. But a man who knows his worth.. I mean not everyone can show their middle finger to Baldy.. And make no mistake, he worked hard for everything his whole life...
He's extremely decorated. Over 34 trophies, 14 x league champion. Won everything on club level including Europa league, Uefa Super cup, Fifa club world cup. He basically won every single competition there is except Champions league. He would win that as well if it wasn't for that unlucky spell with Guardiola and Barca. So if he stayed one year longer with Inter or one year longer at Barca if Guardiola didn't miss treat him. So if not having Champions league is being not most decorated and everything else doesn't matter? Then ok. He s not the most decorated:)
As a young player my role models were zlatan, robben, and messi. I am a tall guy so zlatan was a huge inspiration for me, he showed that you could be tall and still have great coordination.
I think gerd Muller, Lewandowski, Benzema, Suarez , Romario, R9 ,van basten ,puskas r better than Zlatan ..so he is in 9th position...he is way better than the likes of Cavani, higuain, immobile
Football IQ at an all time low in this frikkin comment section. Totti, Bergkamp, Patrick Viera, Buffon, Marco Reus, I can name countless others man. Trophies, and the UCL specifically, does not define individual brilliance. All those players never won the UCL, still considered legends.
It’s hard to put a number on Zlatan. It’s simple in terms that he will be (rightfully so) regarded as an all time great, but to say he’s 5th, 9th, 16th, etc is too tough to say
@@bilmer7465 He's a top 15 CF, maybe top 10, but there are 10 other positions, he definitely makes top 100 overall, possibly even top 50, but that's it.
@@JarrettMehldau I just think he was criminally underrated as a player, people look at the statistics to much nowdays so i'd set him in a top 10 players of all time. It's still debatable but his playstyle is something you won't find again.
@@bilmer7465 Yeah, people overestimate stats and titles, or fail to put them into context. But titles and stats (as well as talent, impact in big games and overall influence) are part of the equation, when you rank these guys. Anyway, Zlatan is undeniably a unique talent and definitely in the top 10 most entertaining players ever, that's fs and maybe even a little underrated by those who missed his prime.
Arsenal must do everything in their power to renew William Saliba's contract. When he got injured in that game against Sporting that was a season defining moment for Arsenal because without him, they looked ordinary at the back they were giving up goals and as a result, Arsenal crumbled in the title race and his loss reminds me of what happened to Liverpool after Virgil Van Dijk was ruled out with an ACL injury for the rest of the season. Arsenal might be forced to cash in on him if he doesn't extend his contract, but I think they'll try and keep him because William Saliba is one of Arsenal's most important players his influence at the back and his presence he brings to their team for someone who's so so young is incredible and they'll be trying to keep him big time.
Zlatan was so good, that he had no problem on admitting if someone played better than him. This is, for me, more important than putting a number on him where he would rank among the best strikers. Realistically speaking he might just make a top 10, but he was entertaining in his style of play and often times very much fun to watch, which is something that can't be measured by any statistic. And I'm pretty sure he had a lot of fun himself when he played, which is - at a world class level - something that has to be admired. Regarding his often attested arrogance I will only say that he backed it up often enough on the pitch. He talked big, but he played big, too.
ibra is certainly in the top 10 strikers of all time. i can't think of too many near him and he's actually very underrated if you look at all the teams he played for, and what he did without mobile, creative wingers if the team is based around ibra he gets around 50+ goals a season and his creative side is pure genius at times probably gonna go down as the greatest goalscorer of all time, and way above haaland on most metrics
@@dmun5222 messi wanted to be the basis of the side when ibra is a 9 and 6'4, it made zero sense for him to ask of this and for many months pep never spoke a word to ibra during the tunnel, coaching and during their entire period together after falling out. pep's the reason ibra failed, the league was relatively easy and pep was using ibra in winger positions at times just to accommodate messi's hunger and selfishness to be the main scorer. notice how suarez in 2014-15 never once played winger and solely stuck to a striker role. i wonder why this is
Zlatan is one of my favorite players ever. he's the greatest scorer of amazing goals in history. his highlights are goals you will never see other players score. and his goal against England might be the greatest goal in football history. i'd say top 10 striker ever. i'm not gonna make a list but i think he deserves to be there based on his talent. he was so much more than just a goalscorer. he can hold the ball up, be a playmaker, was an amazing dribbler for his size especially. just one of the all-time greats.
Zlatan won the league in 11 straight seasons for any club he played for...Ajax, Juve, Barca, Inter, Milan Man Utd was the only team he didn't lead to the title. I think his career is underrated
R9 THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME The rest in no particular order: R7 Batistuta Romario Henry Pele Shearer Shevchenko Baggio Messi Ibrahimovic Van Nistelrooy Gerd Muller Marco Van Basten
Really Frank? Comparing Benzema with Zlatan? I swear... Any footballing fan would know that Zlatan is 2x better than Benz by miles... Benzema shined like the last few years.. he was average striker during 2013 till 2018 he couldn't even compete against Suarez at Barca... 2019 when he started to show up since Ronaldo left. While Zlatan was Banging and dribbling and doing crazy stuffs in Juventus, Inter, Barca. Milan, United. etc.
All time Suarez a goal every 132 minutes . all time Benzema a goal every 136 minutes. Suarez is only slightly ahead while playing 8 seasons outside of Europes top 5 leagues. Suarez also has 1/3 the amount of ucl goals than Benzema has. Suarez ghosting is a big reason Barcelona kept getting knocked out over and over. Benzema moves to the wing so cr7 can move to the center and now does the same for Vinicius. While Suarez had Messi literally passing penalties to him for golden boots. Stop pretending it isn’t close, you are disingenuous
@@edwardben-eboh4787 yes lol I just told you Suarez over his whole career 132 minutes per goal Benzema 136. While spent 8 seasons outside a top 5 league
Ronaldo, Roberto Baggio, Maradona, Messi, CR7, Gerd Müller, van Basten, Ibrahimovic, Henry, Raul. This would be the order of all time greatest strikers for me.
Answer the question ffs. My answer - maybe Top 20 for all time strikers. Off the top of my head: 1. Pele 2. Ronaldo 3. Puskas 4. Eusebio 5. Gerd Muller 6. Van Basten 7. Romario 8. Henry 9. Suarez 10. Lewandowski 11. Benzema Yea, I think he might even be Top 15
I honestly don't understand how you could even compare Benzema to Zlatan. Benzema got UCL but what about him as a player? He's light years behind Zlatan
He’s definitely in the top 10 strikers in the last 20 years all time hard to say probably around top 50. That’s not an insult he’s world class but we have seen many talented players throughout the years
Nobody as talented as him. Bro he mixed martial arts with football and gave one of the best goals in football history. In my book he's on the same level as Suarez.
@@joshuaguevara1309 no Zlatan is better in every category than Giroud. Better touch,pass,vision,strength,free kicks,pens, his power shoots are insane,character,career. You needed to follow Zlatan career and not just watch highlights on RUclips to understand why he's so special. We won't have player like this again.
@@kaneblood3531 I saw him at every single club . I even watch all his la galaxy career Like I said we have seen many world class players who at the end of the day are more talented. Zhlatan only wins in longevity over those guys
even ronaldo 9 did not win the champions league so stop this against zlatan. Look at zlatans technique, he was very clever inside the box and an ultimate striker. tall, skillfull, strong, an oh my god goal scorer. he is amonst the top 5 strikers ever. just bcoz he didn have a very strong team consistently to give a shot at UCL does not mean he was mediocre.
@RiberyGDLwell if he shined so much im sure bayern would bought him for a pernament transfer, just like james rodriguez... both of them were better in bayern than they were for barca and real (even tho james was good at first, he became not so good in a few seasons) but coutinho and griezmann are comparable to hazard imo in terms of being expensive and bad, also ousmane dembele for barca at first seemed like an hazard type transfer but he turned it around when xavi came. sadly barca still lost a lot of money on him overall
Even though he’s already done a lot, why wouldn’t a Saudi Team push for someone like Zlatan? That would be great, he could probably perform well, increase team levels and even put more of a stamp on their league ( CR7 + Benzema going there so why not go for all the stars that are pushing retirement)
I think he was way better than Benzema as a striker even though he’s not got a champions league medal I don’t think that’s comparable when looking at a style and the different countries he’s been the star striker scoring goals in every league
15 million pounds in the late 90’s was an insane amount of money for no return, definitely up there with Hazard, also Sanchez to United and Torres to Chelsea and noteworthy
Klopp has simply noticed that his style of football isn't sustainable for the long-term and breaks players. Reason he went for Macallister, a more technical player. He's decided to now copy whatever Pep does and accept that people are better than others in what they do.
Ibrahimovic is a world class legendary player. As striker- 1. Pele, 2. Ronaldo Nazario, 3. Ibrahimovic/ Lawandosky. Z is my favourite footballer. All the best Lion.
@Bebeto_7 What, Why lie? He played almost nothing at the last season, due to injuries. But the other 3 seasons he was great and played a lot. First in Galaxy then in Milan. He had a huge impact on Milan for sure.
So they ask this guy where do you rank Zlatan in all Time Strikers list and proceeds to say "well he didn't win the UCL," So stupid, how many does Kane and Totti have? Scoring ability is an individual thing...
When Zlatan says that he didn’t need the balon d’oro to be the BEST, it’s the kind of thing people who don’t win it would say 😂 Granted, the guy was a Beast of a player and goal scorer. No disrespect! To be the BEST, you have to WIN! Check out CR7, Messi, Benz, Modric and on and on!
Man said Zlatan isn’t on benzema level 😂 what??? Zlatan in Real Madrid would win all those silver wear too! He clears benzema easily only Suarez and lewandowski is in the convo with zlatan for this generation of strikers
1.R9 2. Zlatan 3. Benz/Lewa/Suárez 4. Klose 5. Romario !! That's the 7 fighting for top 5 honorable mention to Raul, David Villa, van basten, Rooney etc .... O Muller buth not thomas
Zlatan has said he's the greatest so many times, a lot of weak willed pundits have come to believe it. Performance wise he has scored a lot of beautiful goals, but never won a critical game with them. I'd say top 50.
Sweden back heel euros. Classico bomber. Club World Cup performance for barca. United goals during Europa. Brace against Arsenal. Pretty much being the top scorer in every league and always winning the league that same year. He’s been clutch. In the short term and long term. Absolute legend. Swedens greatest ever
@@addis2653 no. But if u want a personal top 10 in my opinion I’d be free to give u one and talk over my reasoning if u disagree. This is subjective and my opinion. 1. Pelé 2. Messi 3. Cr7 4. Zidane 5. Modric 6. Maradona 7. Cruyff 8. Busquets 9. Xavi 10 Sergio ramos Favorites 1. Isco 2. Fede 3. Zidane 4. Cr7 6. Koopmeiners 7. Ozil 8. Zlatan 9. Ceballos 10. Modric
He did it in the KNVB Eredivisie, TIM Serie A, La Liga SANTANDER, Uber Eats Ligue 1, The FA BARCLAYS Premiership, Major League Soccer brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Legend of the game.
Guys i love you and all episodes of extra time, serious, but why u dont come up with an extra episode for IBRA ?..... i think he deserves it and farthermore we would like to hear some stuff from you about him.......................
They both play different roles, Moises Caicedo is a box to box midfielder and he's excellent at winning the ball back and making those driving runs and does it at a high level, like a young N'Golo Kante. Alexis Mac Callister plays that role but what he brings to a team, he's direct, energetic and has goals in his game and provides creativity. I'm not sure they're both complete in their games. Moises Caicedo is more of a defensive midfielder and he's even played right back at times for Brighton, Alexis Mac Callister can play so many roles in that midfield, CAM, DM, and LM they're both versatile players and I'm not sure.
Right now Arsenal are surely a better option for Salina than PSG. At Arsenal he doesn’t have strong competition for his spot, he has a true manager, better league and still gets UCL football. PSG are a mess right now
Greatest pure strikers, so no Messi, Pele, Cristiano, for me Zlatan doesn't make the top 20, he failed in the champions league and the intl tournaments, but still great in ability, will remain as one of the biggest to not have won the UCL. 1. R9 2. Romario 3. Hugo Sanchez 4. Puskas 5. Meazza 6. Bican 7. Muller 8. Eusebio 9. Henry 10. Eto 11. Lewandowski 12. Suarez 13. Baggio 14. Van basten 15. Raul 16. Batistuta 17. Mbappe 18. Weah 19. Klose 20. Halaand 21. Zlatan
Coutinho was an obvious bad signing that it was obvious before he signed it was a terrible signing, just like Hazards, but Coutinho wasn't as useless as Hazard lmao, Hazard basically decided to retire on the bench after he got the move, did not contribute at all to Real Madrid.
Zlatan top 10 striker all time. No doubt. Probably top 50 all time footballer, no, definitely top 50. However, he never managed to bring the big cups to his clubs, (like several others did).
@@janthomassen9577 he was pretty unlucky with that, had he not left some clubs so early he would have multiple CLs. Sometimes its just not meant to be. Still he won trophies at basically every club he went to.
Coutinho the worst transfer is football history any era. €160M just for him to score against his parent club on loan at Bayern eliminating the Catalans and securing UCL glory with FC Hollywood. Hazard was a mess but never came back to bite Madrid. Despite not contributing he has a UCL winners medal for the club that bought him.
The worst transfer was Messi to PSG even worse than Hazard to Real. Messi was a total flop in a very weak French league( off course ESPN will never admit that because they are the anti Cristiano gang)
Top 15 even though he scored a lot of goals, I still think he lacked the qualities in the Champions League. He hasn't been great in the big games. It reminds me a bit of Harry Kane. Many goals but fall short when it really counts. Yes, he has won quite a few titles, but it came during a period when the Calciopoli scandal came to light, which made it easier to win the league with Inter in the future. He came to Barcelona which was the best combined team ever and funnily enough Eto'o won the treble with Inter. He came back to Milan and probably for the first time ever fought for a league title. The French league where he scored the most goals is not surprising. If you take that away, Zlatan is a fairly anonymous player who took advantage of the fact that 2-3 teams were not at their usual level. He did well at United, but it's hard to criticize him for anything there. The whole team was average and can hardly be counted in anything. He is a fine player but let's not be blinded by the fact that circumstances have been with him and that the high number of goals came from the French league.
Zlatan has made football so enjoyable and humorous, whenever you see him you know something will happen. His character is one of a kind and he left a mark. Legend

but coutinho and griezmann are comparable to hazard imo in terms of being expensive and bad, also ousmane dembele for barca at first seemed like an hazard type transfer but he turned it around when xavi came.
sadly barca still lost a lot of money on him overall
He scored some serious goals, top 15 for sure
Even though he’s already done a lot, why wouldn’t a Saudi Team push for someone like Zlatan? That would be great, he could probably perform well, increase team levels and even put more of a stamp on their league ( CR7 + Benzema going there so why not go for all the stars that are pushing retirement)
No, keep saudis away from the beautiful game.
The sand people are no good
Dude... the guy is 42.. + injuries most of the season not worth.
Who wants to live inSaudi-Arabia? Guess he values his wife's opinion, so he won't move there
I think he was way better than Benzema as a striker even though he’s not got a champions league medal I don’t think that’s comparable when looking at a style and the different countries he’s been the star striker scoring goals in every league
15 million pounds in the late 90’s was an insane amount of money for no return, definitely up there with Hazard, also Sanchez to United and Torres to Chelsea and noteworthy
I agree with Craig in the beginning, Liga MX is way ahead of the MLS teams 😂
@worldofootball331 i guess
Klopp has simply noticed that his style of football isn't sustainable for the long-term and breaks players. Reason he went for Macallister, a more technical player. He's decided to now copy whatever Pep does and accept that people are better than others in what they do.
Ibrahimovic is a world class legendary player. As striker- 1. Pele, 2. Ronaldo Nazario, 3. Ibrahimovic/ Lawandosky.
Z is my favourite footballer. All the best Lion.
Zlatan won't miss anyone but everyone will miss Zlatan!! I'm a Real Madrid fan but i have huge respect for Zlatan always
@Bebeto_7 What, Why lie? He played almost nothing at the last season, due to injuries. But the other 3 seasons he was great and played a lot. First in Galaxy then in Milan. He had a huge impact on Milan for sure.
For cf only(no cr7, no messi, no maradona, no pele etc), maybe 20
Not surprised also Zava retired from Ted Lasso, foreshadowing I guess
So they ask this guy where do you rank Zlatan in all Time Strikers list and proceeds to say "well he didn't win the UCL," So stupid, how many does Kane and Totti have? Scoring ability is an individual thing...
I would say he ranks easily top 10 all time strikers. I would even go as far as top 5 but top 10 is very fair.
Lentini was transferred for a ridiculous amount to AC Milan and didn't produce
He's top 10 PERIOD.
Frank's Zingers are off the scale. But hes right.😂
Far better than Haaland both technically and physically, just see his goals after dribbling 4-5 defenders!
Yeah but Haaland has more pace
"I have something with world cup winners,Idk why"😂😂😂
Zlatan was great, but I'm sad he wasted so many year of his prime in PSG.
he does not want or need ranks.
When Zlatan says that he didn’t need the balon d’oro to be the BEST, it’s the kind of thing people who don’t win it would say 😂 Granted, the guy was a Beast of a player and goal scorer. No disrespect! To be the BEST, you have to WIN! Check out CR7, Messi, Benz, Modric and on and on!
Nah. Other Better players haven’t won it when they deserved. So yea
Man said Zlatan isn’t on benzema level 😂 what??? Zlatan in Real Madrid would win all those silver wear too! He clears benzema easily only Suarez and lewandowski is in the convo with zlatan for this generation of strikers
1.R9 2. Zlatan 3. Benz/Lewa/Suárez 4. Klose 5. Romario !! That's the 7 fighting for top 5 honorable mention to Raul, David Villa, van basten, Rooney etc .... O Muller buth not thomas
Ibra has the best highlight reel of all time.
Zlatan has said he's the greatest so many times, a lot of weak willed pundits have come to believe it. Performance wise he has scored a lot of beautiful goals, but never won a critical game with them. I'd say top 50.
Sweden back heel euros. Classico bomber. Club World Cup performance for barca. United goals during Europa. Brace against Arsenal. Pretty much being the top scorer in every league and always winning the league that same year. He’s been clutch. In the short term and long term. Absolute legend. Swedens greatest ever
Zlatan can't be ranked but ranking can be Zlatan
Top 5 no doubt in my mind
One of the greatest, one of the favorites.. but only he and ronaldihno hold the spot for excitement and creativity for me
Top ten.not many played for 2 decades with sucess
Zlatan is not in my top 10 but he is in top 10 of favorite players
Let me guess Alan Shearer and Inzaghi on your 10 list 🤣🤣

Too bad about Zlatan. But he didn't retire. Football retired Zlatan.
We are in 2023… the lad was overrated and disappeared in every big games. Glad inter got rid of him for Etoo. We never winning the UCL with him.
@@colinedelman6392 Zlatan doesn't disappear from games. Games disappear from Zlatan.
@@mexter07v2 facts
Thank God these cringe jokes are going to end
@@colinedelman6392 That is just not true, it’s just not.
No disrespect football every bady to be Brazilian or Argentina to magnify Zlatan one of the greatest player print he’s on Legacy 👏👏👏
He did it in the KNVB Eredivisie, TIM Serie A, La Liga SANTANDER, Uber Eats Ligue 1, The FA BARCLAYS Premiership, Major League Soccer brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Legend of the game.
hazard, coutinho and griezmann are pretty close in price and nothing to show for it on the pitch🤷♂️🤷♂️
Haha Frank with that WC comment
Guys i love you and all episodes of extra time, serious, but why u dont come up with an extra episode for IBRA ?..... i think he deserves it and farthermore we would like to hear some stuff from you about him.......................
Eric Cantona type personality I'd put him top 10 easily for his talent and the fact the list had to ask zlatan for permission
They both play different roles, Moises Caicedo is a box to box midfielder and he's excellent at winning the ball back and making those driving runs and does it at a high level, like a young N'Golo Kante. Alexis Mac Callister plays that role but what he brings to a team, he's direct, energetic and has goals in his game and provides creativity. I'm not sure they're both complete in their games. Moises Caicedo is more of a defensive midfielder and he's even played right back at times for Brighton, Alexis Mac Callister can play so many roles in that midfield, CAM, DM, and LM they're both versatile players and I'm not sure.
ESPN could you guys cut the background music when the presenters talk.....plzzzzz it's very annoying.
Right now Arsenal are surely a better option for Salina than PSG. At Arsenal he doesn’t have strong competition for his spot, he has a true manager, better league and still gets UCL football. PSG are a mess right now
Greatest pure strikers, so no Messi, Pele, Cristiano, for me Zlatan doesn't make the top 20, he failed in the champions league and the intl tournaments, but still great in ability, will remain as one of the biggest to not have won the UCL.
1. R9

Saying Hazard was the worst signing ever when Barca paid 140 m+ for coutinho is hilarious
Coutinho was an obvious bad signing that it was obvious before he signed it was a terrible signing, just like Hazards, but Coutinho wasn't as useless as Hazard lmao, Hazard basically decided to retire on the bench after he got the move, did not contribute at all to Real Madrid.
I don't care how many champions league Benzema won, in my opinion, Ibra was much better than him as a player.
Chris Sutton was carried by Alan Shearer at Blackburn.
Zlatan top 10 striker all time. No doubt. Probably top 50 all time footballer, no, definitely top 50.
However, he never managed to bring the big cups to his clubs, (like several others did).
he won every cup but the CL
@@bangladeshirealtor My point exactly, he climbed the hills but never made it to the foothills of the mountain
@@janthomassen9577 it’s just one trophy man’s got 12 league titles that’s more impressive than one CL imo
@@janthomassen9577 he was pretty unlucky with that, had he not left some clubs so early he would have multiple CLs. Sometimes its just not meant to be. Still he won trophies at basically every club he went to.
He doesn't need UCL he has 34 trophies.
The truth is, his "arrogance" is only for comedic purposes, similar to RDJ.
Craig Why can’t football-soccer treat officials as they are treated in Rugby?
Top 10 easily
True strikers?
Pele
Eusebio
R9
Van basten
Gerd Muller
Lewandowski
Luis suarez
Nowhere, because Lions don't compare themselves to All-time strikers.
I like the 3 guys format...Sometimes they get lost when 4 or 5 of them are presents...
Coutinho the worst transfer is football history any era. €160M just for him to score against his parent club on loan at Bayern eliminating the Catalans and securing UCL glory with FC Hollywood. Hazard was a mess but never came back to bite Madrid. Despite not contributing he has a UCL winners medal for the club that bought him.
Rodgers has ruled himself out
Ronaldo also didnt win CL (the brazilian)
I take Prime Zlatan every day before på prime Benzema
I’d put him top 10 based on numbers but top 20 overall based on all the striker I’ve seen between 2006 and now
(20!) Are you taking the mick? Easily top 5 since 2006/R9.
top 5?? can you list down the name?
Zlatan's overhead kick against Engerlund ranks up there with Pele's overhead kick against the Nazi's 👍
Grow up.

I’d say that Ibra is fourth or fifth on your list.
The true legend.
The worst transfer was Messi to PSG even worse than Hazard to Real. Messi was a total flop in a very weak French league( off course ESPN will never admit that because they are the anti Cristiano gang)
Top 15
even though he scored a lot of goals, I still think he lacked the qualities in the Champions League. He hasn't been great in the big games. It reminds me a bit of Harry Kane. Many goals but fall short when it really counts.
Yes, he has won quite a few titles, but it came during a period when the Calciopoli scandal came to light, which made it easier to win the league with Inter in the future. He came to Barcelona which was the best combined team ever and funnily enough Eto'o won the treble with Inter.
He came back to Milan and probably for the first time ever fought for a league title.
The French league where he scored the most goals is not surprising. If you take that away, Zlatan is a fairly anonymous player who took advantage of the fact that 2-3 teams were not at their usual level.
He did well at United, but it's hard to criticize him for anything there. The whole team was average and can hardly be counted in anything.
He is a fine player but let's not be blinded by the fact that circumstances have been with him and that the high number of goals came from the French league.
I love Argentina, but Caecedo is definitely better.
Zlatan is not on a list. Zlatan is the list.
Zlatan is the goat
Lions don't retire.....
Highly.
I compare zlatan in his prime to lewa
Lentini to Milan was a terrible deal.
