Zlatan Ibrahimović's Instagram profile says he's a writer and on Saturday the Swede penned a new page in his remarkable career when he became the oldest ever goalscorer in Italy's Serie A.
As scripts go there was drama and pathos as the AC Milan forward achieved the landmark -- at the age of 41 years and 166 days -- with his goal coming from a retaken penalty in his team's 3-1 defeat by Udinese.
"It's an honor but I'm sorry that this goal didn't bring the three points," Ibrahimović said, according to Sky Sport Italia. "Emptied the knee once a week for six months. Painkillers every day for six months. Barely slept for six months because of the pain. Never suffered so much on and off the pitch."
