Zlatan Ibrahimovic claims ‘a World Cup without me wouldn’t be a World Cup’ after hinting he will play for Sweden this summer.
Ibrahimovic retired from international football after Euro 2016, but Sweden’s victory over Italy in the playoffs for the upcoming World Cup has given the former Juventus, Inter and Milan striker second thoughts.
“I’m going to the World Cup, yes,” the LA Galaxy hitman told The Jimmy Kimmel Show.
