Ibra – nu ett globalt mediefenomen

För de som inte förstår hur storleken på (den i sig meningslösa) nyheten att Zlatan Ibrahimovic avgjorde mötet mot Real Madrid igår har jag valt ut några klipp från engelskspråkiga medier.

Wall Street Journal:

“It’s tough to say just what is “wrong” with Mr. Ibrahimovic. It may be something as simple as the fact that he doesn’t look or play like anything soccer has seen before. Simply put, nobody that big has been that talented.”

The Guardian:

“Last night, the doubts were blown away; last night, Ibrahimovic became a hero. The winning goal in the biggest game on earth, the bitterest rivalry, the most expensive match ever played.”

BBC:

“There was simply a lot of glorious football, most of it a joy to behold. Ibrahimovic will get the headlines and deservedly so – he has had more than his fair share of accusations that he goes missing in big games thrown at him, so the Swede should enjoy his moment after clinically volleying past Casillas five minutes after coming on.”

Goal.com (en av världens största fotbollssajter):

“It is amazing this debate has persisted for so long. Samuel Eto’o is very good, but Ibra is exceptional. Only the British press, and certain sectors of the Madrid media, seem unable to appreciate his genius.”
