Whatever you do, never irritate Zlatan Ibrahimovic if you know what’s best for you!

In a Group G Euro 2016 qualifying match between Sweden and Austria, David Alaba found out the hard way.

Rubin Okotie was first marking Ibrahimovic who had his hands on his hips. Okotie then proceeded to place his hand on the Swedish striker’s chest and push him back, acting cocky at the same time when Ibrahiomvic seemed to question his motives.

Ibrahimovic was clearly unimpressed and took his revenge later when fighting for the ball. Only this time, Alaba was the victim.

With Alaba behind him, Ibrahimovic let fly a well disguised elbow to the face which knocked him to the ground, seeing stars for a while.

The PSG striker didn’t escape a booking though, but he must have been smiling inside.
