After a long and storied career which included a stint with the LA Galaxy as well as Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Juventus, Ajax and AC Milan, 41-year-old Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimović is retiring.
“I have so many memories and emotions inside this stadium,” Ibrahimović said. “The first time I arrived you gave me happiness, the second time you gave me love.
“I want to thank my family … I want to thank my second family: the players. I want to thank the coach and his staff for the responsibility, I want to thank the directors for the opportunity. Last but not least, from my heart, I want to thank you fans.” He also enjoyed trophy-laden spells at Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Juventus and Ajax, having started his career with hometown club Malmo.Many of the fans at San Siro on Sunday were in tears, as were most of his teammates, who were all wearing jerseys with his name and squad number on the back.
Ibrahimović told reporters he struggled to find someone who wasn't crying as he looked around during his speech for someone to help give him the strength to stem his own tears.“I woke up this morning and it was raining, and I thought ‘Even God is crying,’” he said with a smile. There were emotional scenes even before kickoff as a giant banner was unfurled at one end of the stadium with the words “Godbye.” The fans chanted his name and Ibrahimović was moved to tears as he cupped his hands in the shape of a heart and blew kisses to the supporters.He said: “It’s too difficult, there are so many emotions going through me now. But I will say, ‘I’ll see you around, if you’re lucky.
