Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Retired Star ‘Scores’ Ridiculous Bicycle Kick on Water, Video

• Zlatan Ibrahimovic hit a beautiful bicycle kick on water
• The striker was known for doing the unthinkable during his playing days
• He recently retired from professional football, aged 41

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is seemingly enjoying his early days of retirement. The veteran striker drew the curtains to the end of a wonderful career at the end of last season.

It was a career that saw him grace leagues in Italy, Spain, England, France, the United States and the Netherlands over 20 years, winning almost every available major honour save for the Champions League.

He wanted to continue at AC Milan, but an anterior cruciate ligament tear last season curtailed his return to full fitness and he decided to part ways with the Serie A giants on mutual consent.

Forever young

But if the latest video that he shared on his social media platforms are anything to go by, the Swede striker is back to his full fitness. He uploaded a video of his hitting the ball with the audacious bicycle kick while in what looked like the ocean in an undisclosed location.

There were no goalposts, but knowing Ibrahimovic, he will definitely tell you that that went in.

Greatest bicycle kicks in history

When creating a list of technical goals is never complete without the lanky Ibrahimovic featuring in it. Football has, over time, proven to be a game of great skill and composure and as far as aesthetic goals go, scoring with a bicycle kick is perhaps the greatest way one can net a goal.

Also known as the overhead or the scissors kick, it usually sees a player strike the ball mid-air with his back turned towards the goal.

Sports Brief takes a trip down the memory lane to remember the best bicycle kick goals.

Ibrahimovic's came from 30 yards out after Joe Hart came way off his line to make a clearance. The poor attempt at clearing the ball fell to the Swedish former striker, who unleashed a bicycle kick from downtown to send the stadium into a frenzy - with his fourth goal of the night.
