5 current world class players yet to win a major international trophy

#3 Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden)

34-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic has already announced that this edition of the Euros is most likely going to be his last one and this will be the Swede’s last chance to have a major impact in an international tournament. A multiple league winner, Zlatan picked up yet another Ligue 1 title with PSG as he bid farewell to Paris.

For all his talk about being one of the best ever to play the game, his team have often let him down and the pressure to perform for the national side will weigh more on the shoulders of the 34-year-old striker. The Swede however, will have to be at his very best if Sweden are to qualify from their Euro group containing Belgium, Italy and Ireland.

Although Zlatan is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in the world, the lack of quality in rest of the Sweden squad might mean that the charismatic striker will end his career without a single international trophy.
