This is the best player in history according to Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The Swedish forward, renowned for his stints with clubs like Ajax, Juventus, FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, PSG, Manchester United, and AC Milan, firmly believes he knows who the greatest player to ever grace the pitch is.

While many might expect Ibrahimovic to lean towards a European football legend like Johan Cruyff, the illustrious Dutchman and Ajax icon, he surprised fans by choosing a South American instead.

Ibrahimovic, known for his lethal striking and remarkable agility despite standing at 195 centimeters, didn’t hesitate to name Ronaldo Nazário as the best of all time. “For me, Ronaldo is football. The way he moved… he is, without a doubt, the best player in history. I always followed and admired him because he did things with the ball that we all wished we could do,” Zlatan stated about the Brazilian legend.

With a career tally of 580 goals, Ibrahimovic certainly has the credentials to weigh in on this debate. He chose Ronaldo, the man whose goals led Brazil to victory in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the last time the national team lifted the trophy.

Zlatan's admiration for Ronaldo highlights the impact the Brazilian had on the game and underscores the complexity of defining greatness in football.
