“You don’t need a team leader, you need quality.”

Arsenal could have happened, as everybody knows, but I would not do a trial. Who do you think regrets that more – Arsene Wenger or Zlatan?

When I got the red card all the Chelsea players come around. It felt like I had a lot of babies around me.

England is a very strong league, with three or four of the best teams in Europe, but, if I had played there, I would have destroyed it, like I have everywhere else.

I’m like Muhammed Ali. When he said he would knock someone out in the fourth round, he did it.

PSG’s project is to dream bigger, but if you buy Messi, you don’t dream bigger – you are bigger!

Zlatan doesn’t do auditions.

I can play in the 11 positions because a good player can play anywhere on the pitch.

At Barca, players were banned from driving their sports cars to training. I thought this was ridiculous – it was no one’s business what car I drive – so in April, before a match with Almeria, I drove my Ferrari Enzo to work. It caused a scene.

Everyone is equal – a strange Swedish mentality.

Come to my house and you’ll see if I’m gay. And bring your sister.

We usually say that you cannot become a legend before death. But I am a living legend.

Kosovo is Serbian, only if my mother is a Virgin.

Arsene Wenger asked me to have a trial with Arsenal when I was 17. I turned it down. Zlatan doesn’t do auditions.

You can take a kid out of Rosengård, but you can never take Rosengård out of that kid.

I am very proud. It is always fun to win such a prize, to be chosen as Swedens best player a certain year.

You always need something to complain about. And if you can’t come up with anything better, you come along with team leaders. I don’t believe in this chitchat.
