Zlatan Ibrahimovic entered the field the day before wearing the captain’s armband. But could not win the team in the new beginning. That complicates the Scudetto retention equation. However, this Swedish star has created a new history. He holds the record for being the oldest goalscorer in Serie A history.

AC Milan lost 3-1 to Udinese in the Italian top league Serie A match at the Dacia Arena on Saturday night. After falling behind early in the match, Ibrahimovic equalized from a spot kick in added time in the first half. However, within two minutes, the team fell behind again. And at the end digested another goal.

Even after the loss, the discussion is about Ibra’s goal. Because his age is 41 years, 5 months, 15 days. How many players play football at this age? That too in one of the top three leagues. Playing there in the team of Italian champions. Scoring too.

The old record for the oldest goalscorer in Syria was held by Alessandro ‘Billy’ Costacurta. Interestingly, he scored from the penalty spot in May 2007 for Udinese in Milan’s defeat. Although that match was at the San Siro.

Always a funny character, Ibra was in a normal mood even after making history. As he said about the record, ‘He can keep the record if he wants, I don’t want this record.’

“I am proud to be part of this club’s history because it is a great club with a great history,” he said. The players here have done amazing things and it means a lot to me to have my name there.’

However, Ibra was disappointed not to be able to win the match despite scoring a goal, ‘This goal did not bring the points, which I wanted. I am also proud to be the captain, but the game did not go the way we wanted.’
