Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swedish national team’s striker, became the team’s oldest player.
Zlatan began the 2022 World Cup qualifying match against Georgia at the age of 39 years and 173 days (0:0, first half).
Ibrahimovic exceeded the feat of goalkeeper Thomas Ravelli, who played for Sweden in 1997 at the age of 38 years and 1 month.
“When I left, Vincent was crying.” Zlatan burst into tears after being asked about his family and his return to the national team.
