During his four years at Paris Saint-Germain, the Swedish forward became one of the biggest stars in French football, scoring 156 goals in 180 matches and collecting 12 medals, including four straight Ligue 1 championships. In July 2016, he moved on from PSG to join Manchester United.
Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar have all arrived at Parc des Princes since Ibrahimovic transferred to the Premier League. With 43 goals scored between them in all competitions this season, the attackers have established themselves as one of the most exciting attacking units in European sport.
Despite this, Ibrahimovic feels that Ligue 1 would benefit from having him there more often. Everything has declined since I left France, he claimed to Canal+. “You don’t have anything to discuss any longer.
France requires me. France doesn’t need me. It makes no difference if you have Messi, Neymar, or Mbappe. Why? as a result of the absence of God.
Ibrahimovic is without a doubt one of football’s most entertaining players of his time. The 41-year-old international with 121 caps has almost 500 goals to his name at the club level and has won league championships in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and France. He has also received awards in England.
During his four years with Paris Saint-Germain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the most prominent player in Ligue 1.

Ibrahimovic still competes at a high level for AC Milan despite his advanced age. He scored eight goals in 23 league games while playing for the team that won Serie A last season, but he is presently recovering from a significant knee injury.
Ligue 1 is without a doubt losing Ibrahimovic’s personality, even though PSG aren’t having any problems on the field. They have easily advanced to the round of 16 in the Champions League this season, and after winning 11 of their first 13 games, they lead Ligue 1 by five points.
Without Ibrahimovic, Milan also suffers. Six points lagging Serie A’s unbeaten leaders Napoli, Stefano Pioli’s team is third. The defending champions lost unexpectedly to Torino 2-1 on Sunday night in Turin, which was only their second league loss of the year.
Ibrahimovic, who earlier this year sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury, kept playing until the end of the campaign to help Milan win their first Serie A championship in 11 years. He had surgery in May and is anticipated to miss the beginning of 2023.
The storied striker has committed to returning and is determined to retire on his terms rather than when his detractors anticipate him to. Ibrahimovic told Gazzetta dello Sport in September, “You will definitely see it. “You may be sure that I will be heard when I return.
“It will be done violently by me. I won’t stop working; I’m not going to retire, and I’m coming back. If I come across a meme-stronger player.
