Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 'Serie A best league in world'

Paris Saint-Germain forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic claims that Serie A is "the best league in the world" and speaks fondly about his time in Italy's top flight.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has claimed that Serie A is "the best league in the world".

The Swedish international has scored goals in the Swedish top flight, in addition to Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1 during an illustrious career.

However, the 34-year-old has said that Italy's top flight is the hardest league for a striker due to the defensive tactics that are often employed.

"Serie A is the place where I became famous with Juventus," Ibrahimovic told Gazzetta dello Sport. "At Ajax I wasn't an international star yet. Everything changed at the Bianconeri: the world opened its eyes and saw me.

"Apart from the year at Barcelona, I played and lived in Italy from 2004 to 2012. I won the title with the three biggest clubs, Juventus, Inter and Milan. I became top scorer, I was chosen as best player.

"For me it remains the best league in the world. And also it's the most difficult for a striker, because they think firstly about not conceding goals and then about making them."

Ibrahimovic has recently revealed that he turned down the chance to re-join AC Milan in the summer transfer window.
