A Ibrahimovic, you know, do not like to lose at all. But this time the Swedish striker is not really gone down finishing second in the ranking of the biggest Swedish sports of all time. And in the most classic of its ways, Zlatan did nothing to hide it.

how to be last – The ranking, published on the website Swedish Dagens Nyhether after the vote of a jury of fans and sports personalities, puts Ibra behind Bjorn Borg, winner of eleven Grand Slams (6 Roland Garros and Wimbledon 5). Approached by the Swedish newspaper, Ibrahimovic seemed anything but happy to have reached “only” the second step of the podium of the special list. “Thank you, but to finish second is how to finish last – said Zlatan, and then add the final touch – with due respect to the other, in that list would have to be the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5″.


Living Legend – Yet Bjorn Borg, as recently as a few weeks ago, had spent the words of praise for his compatriot, saying that “Zlatan Ikea is best known in the world, and certainly more than it had been me in his time. ” And at least the compliments, Ibra has accepted them willingly. So much so that, when he was asked what he thought of the former world number one in the ATP rankings, Zlatan had no problem in recognizing the magnitude of the tennis player, saying that “Borg is a living legend.” A big, then, but not enough to keep up front.

THE STANDINGS – Following are the top 5 of the special classification:
1 – Bjorn Borg (tennis player, born in 1956)
2 – Zlatan Ibrahimovic (footballer born 1981)
3 – Jan-Ove Waldner (tennistavolista, born in 1965)
4 – Annika Sorenstam (golfer, born in 1970)
5 – Ingemar Stenmark (skier, born 1956)
