The ageless striker continued his impressive comeback by helping Sweden secure another victory in a World Cup qualifier.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has “nothing left to prove” after impressing again during Sweden’s 3-0 win over Kosovo in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday.
The AC Milan striker made an outrageous backheel assist to set-up Ludwig Augustinsson for Sweden’s opening goal. It was his second assist in as many games since coming out of retirement from international football.

Zlatan also had a hand in Alexander Isak’s second goal before he made way for Marcus Berg in the 67th-minute.
“Now I’m in a completely different position,” said Ibrahimovic as quoted on Football Italia.
“I have nothing left to prove, there’s nothing else to do in my career but to have fun.
“I mean, I’m 39 years old and I play in the national team and at Milan. Not many people my age can do that.”
Sebastian Larsson’s 70th-minute penalty sealed a 3-0 win for Sweden. The Scandinavian side, who sit two points clear at the top of Group B ahead of Spain, next welcome Estonia to the Friends Arena on Wednesday for a friendly.
