Europe’s most famous journeyman Zlatan Ibrahimovic has played for three different Serie A clubs – Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan. Having scored 66 goals for Inter before his ill-fated move to Barcelona, his transfer to AC Milan saw him lock heads with his former club time and again.

One particular Derby della Madonnina saw Ibrahimovic was up against Lucio and Marco Materazzi on a counter-attack before he was hacked down in the box by Materazzi. The Italian shook his head when the referee blew the whistle while Ibrahimovic stepped up to take the penalty.

With half the crowd whistling at him, the Swedish striker coolly fired it home as the goalkeeper went the wrong way. Ibrahimovic had literally started celebrating on his follow-through as he raised both arms into the air.
