At 40 years old, Ibrahimovic has been the subject of skepticism and speculation about his ability to continue performing at the highest level. However, the Swedish superstar has responded with characteristic bravado. “I’m not finished,” Ibrahimovic told reporters. “I’m like a fine wine, I get better with age. The critics can say what they want, but I know what I’m capable of.” Ibrahimovic’s comments come after he scored the winning goal in AC Milan’s 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in the Milan derby. The goal was a testament to his enduring predatory instincts and clinical finishing ability. “I’m not a young boy anymore, but I have the experience and the quality to still make a difference,” Ibrahimovic said. “I’m a lion. And lions never surrender.” Ibrahimovic’s assertion of his prowess is supported by his impressive track record. Despite his age, he has scored 84 goals in 130 appearances for AC Milan, helping the club win the Serie A title in 2022. The former Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, and Manchester United forward is not afraid to set lofty goals for himself. “I want to win trophies with Milan,” Ibrahimovic said. “I want to show the world that I’m still a force to be reckoned with. I’m not done yet.” Ibrahimovic’s critics may scoff at his claims, but his determination and unwavering belief in his own abilities suggest that he is not ready to give up the chase for glory just yet. As long as the “lion” is hungry, opposition defenses will be on high alert.
