Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Incredible Story Of When The Police Were Chasing Him

Being the colourful character he is, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a whole host of ridiculous stories and tales to tell and his latest revelation involves a police car chase in Sweden many moons ago.

Since making the move to the United States, the charismatic LA Galaxy striker has become an instant hit - providing entertainment on and off the pitch whether it be worldie strikes on his debut, slapping an opposition defender or lighting up American talk-shows like 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'.

Recently, the Swede appeared on ESPN for an interview - with one of the questions revolving around his wildest, most fun time in life.

As we know, the 36-year old is an absolute nutter and strikes you as someone who knows exactly what wild means. So of course, his response was mental.

Ibrahimovic then proceeded to tell a tale about the time he was 18 or 19, decided to buy a Porsche Turbo and ended up being involved a police chase because of course he did.

The well-travelled forward, who has over 400 career goals, turned to the interviewer and asked him if he thought he complied and stopped the vehicle.

He swiftly stated he didn't believe Sweden's all-time top scorer would have done so and obviously he was correct - an adrenaline-filled Zlatan drove until he found a tunnel underneath a highway and waited for all the police to keep going.

While he doesn't view it as a "good" or "positive" thing, Zlatan explains he misses moments like that because he enjoys living on the limit.

Two months back, the man of memorable quotes threw up another one when he said the best way to improve the standard of football/soccer in the United States would be for him to have more kids.

"I have my wife, I got my two kids. If I was single I would spread my investment here in the US," Zlatan said via Paul Pabst.

"You would have future legends in the soccer. But sorry I'm already occupied by my wife and two kids."

There's never a dull moment with Zlatan. What a mad but yet brilliant bastard.
