He already referred to himself as Benjamin Button, the fictional character who was getting younger instead of older. It is one of the more modest and striking comparisons from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. On Sunday evening, the Swede scored twice in the 3-1 top match against Napoli, at the age of 39.
The Great Zlatan Show is now in its 22nd season and the protagonist has now reached an age when the majority of footballers have long and broadly retired. But there is nothing to indicate that the end is in sight for the undiminished ambitious Zlatan.
He headed and scored against Napoli for his ninth and tenth Serie A goal of this season. For those ten hits, Zlatan only needed six matches, on average he finds the net once every 53 minutes.
