“Messi does not need his right foot, though. He only uses the left and he’s still the best in the world! Imagine if he also used his right foot. Then we would have serious problems!”

An injured Zlatan is a pretty serious thing for any team.

That’s how it is with the English: if you score against them you’re a good player; if you don’t, you’re not.

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!

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

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.

Decades ago, George Orwell suggested that the best one-word description of a Fascist was bully.

The best thing to do is go as far out as you can get… what you regard as ‘too far’-and when others follow, as they will, move on.

To not move around, observe, and analyze, in order to make the best decisions possible, was to fail as a leader and fail the team.

The best friend on earth of man is the tree: When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources of the earth.

When all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing.

The best thing about it is you’re showing kids that no matter where you grow up, what race you are, that you can achieve your dream.

I just try to be the best Patrick Mahomes I can be.
