Zlatan Ibrahimović is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a striker. He is known for his acrobatic strikes and volleys, technique, ball control, and physical dominance. Ibrahimović is regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time and is one of the most decorated footballers in the world, having won 34 trophies in his career. He scored over 570 career goals, including more than 500 club goals, and scored in four consecutive decades between the 1990s and the 2020s. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
15 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2004–2016The archive holds 15 team sheets naming Zlatan Ibrahimović in Sweden's starting line-up, from 2004-06-14 to 2016-06-22.
15 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
