On this day 17 years ago, Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the most beautiful goal of his career, in which he demonstrated his superhuman skills, but he had to apologize for it later, so what's the story?
In his third season with Ajax Amsterdam, which he arrived at from Malmo, Sweden, Ibrahimovic caught the eye during a confrontation with Breda.
The "Sultan" went on a solo action, dripping with almost all the opposing team's players before hitting the ball in the net, scoring what he later considered the best goal of his career.
The Zlatan Show.

The Swedish star spoke about that goal in previous statements, and said, “Before that match, my colleague Raphael van der Vaart did not speak to me because he said that I intentionally injured him in training, although I did not do so, and when I entered the stadium to participate in the Breda match, the fans booed me.” As an expression of their support for Van der Vaart. In that match I scored two goals and provided four assists."
"One of the players I dribbled twice said to me: Zlatan I thought we were friends, I apologize because I didn't realize that he was a former Ajax teammate."
Ibrahimovic continues to entertain fans of the round witch until today, despite his approaching forty years, and he is currently playing for Milan, which helped lead him to return to the Champions League after many years of absence.
