Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been one of football's standout mavericks in recent times.

He's spent almost 20 years breaking new ground, so we've collected together 10 moments that he did the impossible.

The striker scored the best goal of his career during a match against NAC Breda in 2004 where he dribbled past five defenders, sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and slotted the ball home for Ajax.

Ibrahimovic scored two beautiful goals during his time at Inter. One was a delightful scorpion kick from an Adriano cross and the other was an unstoppable freekick that registered a speed of 109 km/h.

Out of his 111 goals in 121 games for Paris Saint-Germain, they didn't come much better than this sublime scorpion kick against Bastia at the Parc des Princes.

During a friendly against England in 2012, Ibrahimovic produced an incredible bicycle kick from 40 yards out after Joe Hart had rushed off his line.

At Euro 2004, jaws dropped as Ibrahimovic flicked the ball over Gianluigi Buffon to score against Italy.

Benoit Cheyrou of Lille pulled off a sneaky nutmeg on Ibrahimovic during a game in France, to which the striker could only smile.

During his club career, Ibrahimovic has scored in seven different leagues - Malmo in the Allsvensken, for Ajax in the Eredivisie, for Juventus, Inter and Milan in Serie A, for Barcelona in LaLiga, for PSG in Ligue 1, for Manchester United in the Premier League and LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer.

Showing off his taekwondo skills, the striker was caught kicking teammate Antonio Cassano in the head during an interview after Milan had won the Scudetto.
