Zlatan Ibrahimovic celebrated AC Milan’s Serie A title as only he can

The Swedish star enjoyed some cigars and champagne before flipping a table in the dressing room

Puffing cigars, spraying champagne and flipping over tables, Zlatan Ibrahimovic celebrated AC Milan’s first Serie A title in 11 years exactly as you’d expect.

Milan clinched the title on Sunday by defeating Sassuolo 3-0 on Sunday, the club’s first Scudetto since the 2010-11 season.

At age 40, Ibrahimovic was still a major part of his side’s success this season, contributing eight league goals in addition to his usual larger-than-life dressing room persona.

Amid the celebrations, the Swede spoke to Sky Sport Italia and said: “It’s wonderful, I was here last time Milan won and 11 years later we win it and I’m here again.

“I arrived here making a promise and I kept it. Many laughed when I said that we’d win the Scudetto again, but we worked hard and showed the team what it means to suffer for your results.”

Ibrahimovic dedicates title to Raiola

Ibrahimovic also took a moment to dedicate Milan’s title to Mino Raiola, his longtime agent who passed away last month at the age of 54.

“I dedicate this to Mino, he was one of those who wanted me at Milan and told me I was the only one who could save Milan. I dedicate this trophy to him.”

The striker was coy on his playing future past the current season, but when asked what Raiola’s advice would be he quipped: “Let’s play another 10 years and steal more money!”
