He has scored 392 goals in 677 games and last season was his most prolific, with 50 goals in 51 matches - a record for PSG - while his 38 league goals is also a club record.

The Ego
 |
| Ibrahimovic is so good he has his own verb in the Swedish dictionary - "zlatanera", which translates as "to Zlatan" and means "to dominate" |
- He once famously said "Zlatan doesn't do auditions", when Arsene Wenger wanted the then teenage Ibrahimovic to have a trial for the Gunners in 2000 and he instead chose to join Ajax
- "One thing is for sure: a World Cup without me is nothing to watch," said Ibrahimovic after Sweden missed out on qualifying for the 2014 tournament
- Asked what he would buy his wife for her birthday: "Nothing. She already has Zlatan."
- "If they replace the Eiffel Tower with a statue of me [I would stay]," was Ibrahimovic's demand

| Ibrahimovic shared this image on Instagram to announce he was leaving PSG |
Johanna Franden, international football correspondent for Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, has spent four years in Paris reporting on Ibrahimovic.
"He will play up to that image that people had of him," Franden told BBC Sport.
"When he says these things there is still a smile behind it, but for the last 15 years he has had so many people telling him how good he is that I think he does believe all of it."
