Two goals, both at the start of each half. A penalty that sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and a lovely finish on the break: Zlatan Ibrahimović displayed surgical precision to send the two shots that secured AC Milan’s 13th league victory of the season into the net. The Swede continues to perform at record-breaking levels and once again took centre stage in the Monday night clash between Cagliari and AC Milan. Thanks to his brace in Sardinia, he’s now netted twelve times in just eight appearances in Serie A this campaign. This is already a better tally than he achieved last season, and he’s played ten fewer games. It’s a total that sees him lead the way in terms of goals per game when the Top Five European leagues are considered, ahead of Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski.
In terms of numbers, Zlatan has rarely been in better form during his career. Quite simply, he’s a footballing colossus, especially given that he’ll turn 40 in October. His technical ability, tactical awareness and leadership qualities make him as important as ever, so it’s no surprise to see him named as the Rossoneri’s MVP from Cagliari v AC Milan.
