If Its That Good, Try It From 40Yards Out - Ibrahimovic
Zlatan Ibrahimovic added to the plaudits for Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning strike against Juventus – but did so in his own inimitable style.
Ronaldo gave Real Madrid an early lead in the Champions League quarter-final clash in Turin on Tuesday with an opportunistic finish but stole the show after half-time.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner powered home a remarkable overhead kick that drew applause from the Juventus fans as the travelling Madrid contingent celebrated jubilantly.
By the time Marcelo wrapped up a 3-0 first-leg win for Zinedine Zidane's side, Ronaldo's heroics had already gone viral around the globe. Ibrahimovic added some self-referencing and qualified praise.
"It was a nice goal," he said on ESPN FC. "But he should try it from 40 metres."
Ibrahimovic marked his LA Galaxy debut with a spectacular long-range strike – part of a match-winning brace against LAFC – but might also have been referencing his wonderful overhead attempt for Sweden against England in 2012.
