ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has achieved the near impossible – by voicing as much outrageous swagger off the field as he showed on it!
Amazon Prime viewers labelled the strike legend a “genius” with his cheeky description of his new role at AC Milan.
Ibrahimovic was at the San Siro to see Liverpool pull off a 3-1 Champions League comeback win.
But he took centre stage – in more ways than one – when chatting to Amazon’s sporting crew on the famous pitch.
Presenter Gabby Logan and Chelsea all-time great Frank Lampard were on the left of the 122-cap Swede.
Daniel Sturridge and Dutch icon Clarence Seedorf were on the right – but with all four looking up to the 6ft 5ins star in the middle.
Logan then asked Ibrahimovic for his “official title” at Milan.
And although he’s commonly known as a “senior advisor” the ex-Manchester United, Juventus, Inter and PSG frontman delivered a much grander assessment.
Ibra responded: “I’m the boss and the rest work for me. This is how it works.”
Given his famous self-belief, some might think the 42-year-old’s next comment even hinted at him having super-powers.

He added: “I’m invisible. I’m visible, so I’m all over the place.”
That prompted Amazon Prime to post a clip of the exchange, along with the jokey claim: “Just Zlatan being Zlatan.”
Ibrahimovic has indeed stamped his mark on Milan after returning in December last year to an off-field position at a club he twice played for.
Ex-Liverpool forward Divock Origi and French left-back Fode Ballo-Toure were banished from the first-team set-up over the summer.
Ibra said at the time the duo were “not part of our plans”.
He added starkly: “They will be part of the youth team as they’re not included in our project.”
With such straight-talking, no wonder Ibra reckons he’s in charge.
And many fans appeared to love his smiling confidence on Amazon Prime.
“Big Ibra is a genius,” claimed one.
And there’s at least one middle-aged marvel from Malmo who will not be disagreeing with that verdict…!
