Zlatan celebrates breaking Swedish goal-scoring record, gets booked

Typically, the 32-year-old back-heeled in his 50th international goal.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a record-breaking 50th goal for Sweden in an international friendly against Estonia on Thursday, and then picked up a booking.

The PSG forward drew level with Sven Rydellโ€™s post-World War II tally of 49 with a third-minute effort.

He then claimed the record for himself in the 24th minute, celebrating the feat by lifting his shirt to reveal a t-shirt with written on the back โ€œ50 goalsโ€ and on the front โ€œitโ€™s you who made it possibleโ€.

He was promptly yellow-carded for the gesture.

The 32-year-old Ibrahimovic was earning his 99th international cap, with his 100th set to come in Mondayโ€™s Euro 2016 qualifier against Austria.

The Swede scored a club record 41 goals in all competitions for French champions PSG last season.

    Excellent writeup, heโ€™s had a lot of chaos to deal with at the start of his career, hopefully it will serve him well going forward.
