NICE. — Sweden bid farewell to Zlatan Ibrahimovic with noisy tributes but no goals and exited the European Championship soccer finals meekly after a 1-0 defeat by Belgium. The brash giant of football ended his 116-cap international career on Wednesday with 62 often spectacular goals yet not a shot on target during Sweden’s three matches at Euro 2016.
Ibrahimovic brushed away the disappointment of elimination at the group stage and said he was proud of having emerging from “the ghetto” to become Sweden’s record goal scorer.
“It’s heavy, it’s disappointing, but at the same time I enjoyed it,” he said. — AFP.
