In his first start for AC Milan since 2012, ageless superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored to help his team win 2-0 at Cagliari on Saturday.
Ibrahimovic, who left the Los Angeles Galaxy in November after “conquering” MLS, signed a deal in December to return to his old club AC Milan at the age of 38. Ibrahimovic played his first games for the club in 2010 while on loan from Barcelona, and helped AC Milan win Serie A in 2011. The following season, he led the league in scoring with 28 goals.
Ibrahimovic saw his first action in his Serie A return off the bench, but he earned a spot in the starting 11 on Saturday and didn’t take long to get on the scoresheet.
