Zlatan Ibrahimovic named his dream XI on Instagram - and the team is outrageously good

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s has had the privilege of playing alongside some of the greatest footballers in history.

That’s what happens when you represent Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United throughout the course of your career.

Due to the fact he’s played for so many big clubs, Zlatan – who himself is among the best to have played the sport – has an enviable trophy collection.

The Swedish legend has won league titles in Italy, Spain and France, while he also scooped the UEFA Europa League with United in 2016/17

Only the Champions League trophy is missing from his cabinet and unless Milan shock the world in 2022/23 by winning the famous competition, ol’ Big Ears will avoid Zlatan’s grasp for all eternity.

But despite that, it’s certainly not bad being the 40-year-old icon and as we previously mentioned, his list of former teammates is among the best you’ll see.

Back in 2018, the maverick striker was asked to narrow it down and pick just one dream XI made up of men he’s played alongside at the very highest level.

Zlatan wasn’t able to name Cristiano Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane or Ronaldo Nazario, but the team that was selected is still out of this world.
