#2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Not quite the send-off from international football we would expect from the talismanic Swede. We all know the quality Ibrahimovic has, he’s shown it time and time again at the top level of football for the better part of over a decade. However, this tournament probably gave us a glimpse that father time is creeping up on the PSG man at the age of 34.

It’s not all Zlatan’s fault for his side going home early, the squad Sweden have is average. With only a deflected cross that resulted in a goal the only positive aspect of his tournament among him having failed to score a single goal and creating only two chances for him teammates, the buck does stop with him.

Zlatan will no doubt be disappointed that he couldn’t end his Sweden career with a bang.
