The Ridiculous Moment Zlatan Ibrahimovic Controls The Ball Above His Own Head

Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The man, the myth, the high-flying ninja-kicking legend.

We've always known that the Swede superstar is inclined to do the odd acrobatic kick here and there, but with the striker now 36-year-old, you couldn't be blamed for thinking he would start to get a bit rusty.

But that's not the case with Zlatan. It seems that, year after year, the former Manchester United forward is pushing boundaries that we did not know existed.

He's smashed it in every to European league, and now the towering forward is showing Hollywood his as we can see in this clip here.

Zlatan can be seen stretching his powerful legs across the opposing player, in order to the nib the ball over to his teammate. It's incredible ability for someone his (a'hem) age. How he does it, we don't know. The man seems to defy physics, gravity - all scientific law, in fact. And he seems to be enjoying his time with his new side LA Galaxy, for which he's already scored three times in just three games.

One thing's for sure: retirement is a long way off for his legendary footballer, certainly if he's able to pull move tricks that most 20-year-olds would probably break their back over.Featured Image Credit:
