Zlatan Ibrahimovic's stats and records: Know how many goals he scored for each club

A one-of-a-kind player and a charismatic talent, it’s safe to say that the football world won’t be seeing another character quite like Zlatan Ibrahimovic for some time to come now.

The Swedish striker retired from football on Sunday, June 4, and brought an end to his second spell with AC Milan in Italy.

A footballing maverick if there ever were one, Zlatan’s larger-than-life character made him a headache for some managers to manage while others enjoyed it.

He travelled the world representing a host of top clubs in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, France, and England.

Zlatan also enjoyed a spell in the US before returning to AC Milan for another spell which saw him help the Italian giants to a Scudetto.

At the national team level, Zlatan is the top-scorer for Sweden having netted 62 goals while representing his country.

He’s also Sweden’s top goal-scorer in the European Championship with six goals and is the only Swede to net in three consecutive UEFA Euros (2004, 2008, and 2012).

A player who aged like wine fine, he holds the record for most goals (30) in a regular MLS season during his time with LA Galaxy in America.

In Ligue 1 in France, Zlatan netted 38 league goals in 2015-16 and it is the most by a player in the French top flight.

A true footballing journeyman, Zlatan began his career with Malmo in Sweden before moving to Ajax as a youngster.

It was at Ajax that he caught the attention of the wider football fraternity as he soon earned a move to Italy’s most successful team Juventus before switching to fellow Serie A giants Inter Milan.

After a three-year spell with Inter, Zlatan moved to Barcelona but returned to Italy with AC Milan after a brief stint with the Catalans.

Following a couple of seasons with AC Milan, Zlatan was on the move again and this time to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, where he spent six seasons - the most at one club in his career.

After his time in Ligue 1, Zlatan joined Manchester United for a successful first season but a serious injury curtailed his time in England and led to a move to the USA where he joined LA Galaxy for whom he scored several great goals.

A scorer of great goals, Zlatan won the Puskas Award in 2013 for the best goal of the year after a scintillating bicycle kick from outside the box for Sweden against England.

Once his contract with LA Galaxy was over, the Swedish forward returned to Europe which would be his last club before retirement.

Over the course of his career, Zlatan won plenty of trophies - both individual and collective - wherever he went.

Some of the trophies he won with his various clubs include two Eredivisie titles, one KNVB Cup, five Serie A titles, three Supercoppa Italianas, one La Liga, one UEFA Super Cup, one FIFA Club World Cup, four Ligue 1 crowns, two Coupe de France’s, three Coupe de la Ligues, one UEFA Europa League, and League Cup in England.

On the individual front, Zlatan won the Goal of the Tournament award in UEFA Euro 2004 and 2012. He also won the Golden Foot award in 2012.

With all that in mind, let's have a look at Zlatan Ibrahimovic's stats and records for his clubs and teams.
