How Good Was Zlatan Ibrahimović Before Turning 30?

"There's only one Zlatan"

Zlatan Ibrahimović has been going strong for over two decades and seems to only get better with age. An astounding fact about his career is that he has scored more goals since after turning 30 than before reaching the 3 decade mark.

This got me thinking. How good was he in his twenties? Let's find out.

Zlatan is legendary! When LeBron sent him a jersey welcoming him to LA he autographed it and sent it back. What. A. Legend!

[Dkmo]

The fact you can literally split his career in two and have legendary numbers and league wins on either side shows how legendary this man is at football

[intothewild-to]

His consistency and longevity along with how he's proved himself at multiple top clubs cement him as a legend for me.

The dude is the Chuck Norris of football. I literally seen him score a goal from hitting the ball with a round house kick. Simply amazing lol

4th of October, 2031: How Good Was Zlatan Ibrahimović Before Turning 50?

[parikshitgarhwal]

Man literally the ONLY thing missing in his resume is a UCL, I don’t even blame him for no international trophies.

[Vik.castle]

Zlatan the kinda person to tell the teacher dat the bell doesn't dismiss her
He does

[travis]

As a. Milan fan, this man means everything. He brought us back to competing and helped young players realize there is glory they need to achieve. Legend

[mrmeeseeks]

Even after 30, still an amazing player. In the 15/16 season (despite being 33/34) scored 50 goals and scored 28 with Man U next year.
His longevity is phenomenal

[jatin]

NEVER compare players based on stats.
Zlatan at Juventus and Inter was absolutely magical.
Imagine a guy with the technique of Van Basten and the playmaking of Zidane.

[ameenmuhammed]

The fact that he played against great defenders like maldini, cafu, stam, etc and still plays now!

[notubecap]

2:02 if anyone is wondering what that text say in his tough neighborhood that he grew up on it says. ” You can take a boy out of Rosengård but you can’t take Rosengård out of a boy ” which pretty much sums up why Ibra is the way he is.

[khurgar]

Zlatan is a role playing character. He does not get old, he levels up.

[nathanarcher]

Literally one of the greatest footballers ever. Legend of the game

[MISSINGSITTERS]

Everyone goes to MLS to retire except Zlatan!

[bosanceros]

I freaking started watching this guy at Ajax when i was 13 years old...i'm 34 now and he's still going at it. Un-be-lieveable!

[superslayerguy]

This is the Football Iconic video we all needed

[tahah]

Zlatan is my favorite player and i love everything about him. His attitude to do nothing but win plus his footballing talent makes this man a footballing legend. I look forward to another season of the player that God sent to play football

[mohems]

defo gotta make a “how good was ibra after turning 30, ” that would be a banger

[bayokoebi]

By choice and personal reasons Zlatan Ibrahimovic is and will remain my best football player in the history of football. Zlatan the GOAT!!!
