10th anniversary of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s greatest goal

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a god who has done so many amazing things, but the goal he scored 10 years ago today is still the best.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is perfect. But sometimes he is extra perfect, and that was the case on August 22, 2004.

It was Zlatan vs. the entire NAC team, and Zlatan won.

One man beaten. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another. He beat one player four different times. And that doesn’t include the goalkeeper, who he beat just as well as every defender. By the time it was all over, everyone on the NAC team might as well have been on their knees, bowing to Zlatan.

A week after scoring this goal, Zlatan was sold to Juventus. This was the last goal he ever scored for the Amsterdam club, and it is still the best one he has ever scored for any team anywhere (take that, 35-yard bicycle kick against England).

All hail Zlatan.
