This is not your average rivalry. In fact, this is something else. Something which can’t be explained with mere words. However, we will try to do so. After all, it is Zlatan Ibrahimovic we are talking about.

It all started when Pep Guardiola signed him from Inter and then on the very first day gave him a lecture about how humility is the core on which Barcelona is built, something which we saw whenever Xavi blamed the pitch after a Barca loss.

The Spaniard ordered the Swede to not drive in fancy cars and bring his Audi to training, just like the other Barca players.

As the concept of good music is alien to Justin Bieber fans, so is the notion of being an obedient boy for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. And it was only a matter of time when he exploded, and it was so bad that the former Juventus forward carved out an entire autobiography explaining his enmity with Pep Guardiola.
