Zlatan Ibrahimović is back. No, we're not talking about his actions on the pitch, but rather his brilliant comedy on the mic.
When reporters asked the 36-year-old about the FIFA Puskás Award, the LA Galaxy striker responded in typical Zlatan fashion -- and a cheeky smile to show he actually meant every word of it.
"I didn't see the candidates," he said. "If my goal was not there, I'm not interested."
What an absolute legend.

Mohamed Salah's Puskás win has been quite controversial online, mainly for how football fans were able to have their say on the winner of the award. However, it hasn't stopped James Milner from poking fun at his Liverpool teammate over the Puskás.
Earlier this month, Ibrahimović scored the most outrageous goal for LA Galaxy against Toronto, notching up his 500th career goal in the process. Honestly, it was really ridiculous.
Even after the former Manchester United and Barcelona striker had inflicted damage to the MLS side on the pitch, he wasn't done off it.

When Zlatan says he's done, then he's done
During his post-match interview, a reporter asked Ibrahimović: "That's the first time I've seen an away goal get a standing ovation. What does that mean to you?"
Of course, the rest is history when it comes to his responses.
"It's not the first time I've gotten a standing ovation from the away team," he said
The Swedish forward had one more thing to add before he was done.
"Obviously, it's not good to lose ... but I'm happy for Toronto because they'll be remembered as my 500th victim," he said.
