On the occasion of his 40th birthday, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is showing no signs of slowing down.
It really wouldn’t be a surprise to see him continue playing after the end of the current season, and it would be interesting to see if he’s able to keep up a record that will stand the test of time.
Not only has he scored in every minute of a match during his career, he’s also scored at least once in every year since 1999.
To that end, it’s no wonder that the likes of Barcelona, Inter, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and AC Milan have been grateful recipients of his services.
