VIDEO: Zlatan Ibrahimovic Scores in First Game Back at AC Milan Because of Course He Did
By Michael Luciano
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, known just as much for his mouth and brash personality as he is for his legendary goal-scoring exploits, is back with Serie A titans AC Milan, as he seeks to prove that he still has something to give to a side looking to play in the Europa or Champions League next year. In his first start back with the Rossoneri against Cagliari, Ibrahimovic proved that age is just a number as he managed to find the back of the net and put Milan up 2-0.
Remarkable. 38-year Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores on his return to AC Milan. The cocksure Swede does what he has always done: back up his words, clinically and potently. One of greatest Self-Mythologizers ever to take the field ? ?? pic.twitter.com/T5fTc3ZVTo

Ibrahimovic moved to Milan after an extremely successful stint in MLS with the LA Galaxy, where he scored 52 times in 56 games.
Zlatan, who made his name as a younger player with Juventus and Inter Milan, scored 42 league goals in 61 games over two seasons with Milan at the start of the last decade, where he emerged as one of the world's best strikers before moving to Paris Saint-Germain.
Even at 38, Ibrahimovic is still kicking butt over in Europe.
38-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimović has now scored in four different decades.

Zlatan continues to dominate as he approaches 40, and the Swedish superstar has now torched Italian defenses in three different decades. This utterly singular player and personality in modern soccer isn't going anywhere any time soon.
