Ibrahimovic's Mercurial Goal

It doesn't quite sink in at first, but there are times when you watch something completely unbelievable in football that will forever be etched into the history of the game. Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal is one of these moments.

Such a combination of vision, technique and execution can only be attributed to one of the world's best footballers, and Ibrahimovic sits firmly in an elite tier of players.

A Nike Mercurial wearer, never has the term 'Mercurial' been more appropriately used. An enigmatic talent, Ibrahimovic has divided opinions wherever he's played but no-one can deny his ability. The long-term Mercurial wearer also has a trophy cabinet to rival any player on the planet.

Nike gave us all a look at the magical footwear worn by Zlatan, before he scored his wonder goal. We'd hope the boots are now added to his boot collection, or maybe more appropriately added to the stadium museum in Sweden for what was a memorable opening of the national stadium.

Is the goal from Ibrahimovic the best you've ever seen? Can you think of any better? Join the conversation online
