- Zlatan Ibrahimovic previously named the best goal he had ever witnessed
- The enigmatic Swedish frontman registered plenty of spectacular strikes
- Ibra chose one of his archrival's strikes as the 'greatest' goal over his own
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, often characterised as egotistical due to his unwavering self-belief and relatively limited consideration for others, surprised many when he conceded that someone else outperformed him.
The enigmatic Swedish footballer, who recently retired from the sport, had a rare moment of humility in a clip which went viral online.
Zlatan has been responsible for numerous awe-inspiring goals throughout his career and it is unsurprising his strike, achieved through a spectacular acrobatic move against England, is celebrated as one of the finest in his repertoire.
His stunning goal against the Three Lions earned him the prestigious Puskas Award for that particular year - a testament to the incredible nature of that remarkable moment.
Ibrahimovic delivered this unforgettable bicycle kick on November 14, 2012, during an international friendly between Sweden and England, GOAL reported.
On that memorable day, he stole the spotlight by single-handedly notching all four of his nation's goals in a 4-2 victory - a feat to be remembered in the annals of football history.

In the 64th minute, Ronaldo - despite moving away from the goal - defied gravity as he soared into the air to execute a breathtaking acrobatic strike, connecting with a cross from Dani Carvajal.
