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

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.

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.

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.

I like fireworks too, but I set them off in gardens or kebab stands. I never set fire to my own house.

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!

My freedom doesn’t end where your fear begins.

Be nice to nice.

Nobody can be all smiley all the time, but having a good positive attitude isn’t something to shrug off.

Life is sweeter when you’ve got an attitude of gratitude!

Be Young, Be Dope, Be Proud.

You’re right.I am crazy. But you know what else? I don’t give a fuck.

My name, is my name. Ask me again, i’ll tell you the same.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
