Zlatan played one and half seasons for Manchester United.

#3 SWEDEN VS FRANCE

Playing at the International stage is always a matter of enormous pride, and nobody knows it better than Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He has scored crucial goals and bailed his nation out on numerous occasions.

It was a game which had the interest of three clubs -- England, France, and Sweden. Before the match, France was on the top of the group knowing that a defeat could send them home from the competition. Just when the game had reached a frantic stage, Zlatan Ibrahimovic came up with a scissor-kick from just inside the penalty area which rifled into the corner of Hugo Lloris’s net.

Sweden ran out 2-0 winners from the game which was Blanc's first loss in 24 games and Sweden's first win against France in 43 years. The win was a mere consolation for Zlatan with France and England eventually qualifying to the next round of European Championship.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
