While playing for Barcelona, he fell out with Pep Guardiola an incident which triggered him to quit the Spanish giants. Barca lifted the silverware the following season.

The lion had a wonderful spell at PSG where he scored a total of 113 goals during his four-year stay in Paris. Despite scoring so many goals, he has never played in the UEFA final.

Zlatan moved to Manchester United after leaving PSG and he lifted the UEFA Europa League trophy under Jose Mourinho although he was injured at the time.

He moved to the USA to play in Major League soccer before returning to Europe where he joined AC Milan in 2020. He helped Milan to lift the Serie A title afterward and he is hoping that he will retire with a UCL trophy one day.
