Top 10 Zlatan Ibrahmovic moments

#7 Destroying Lyon

This could be dubbed as the game where the Swedish legend introduced himself to European football. In fact, this was his debut in the Champions League. He was only 20 at the time and was already brimming with confidence.

For the first goal, he zoomed in from the left and smashed the ball into the far post to make it 1-0. A while later, he had an open goal to aim at and he didn’t disappoint. Ajax won the game 2-1 in the end and it was the beginning of the Zlatan-CL love-hate relationship.
