Knee injury showed Zlatan isn't invincible, but also made him hungry again

The first major injury of the striker's career left him missing the game he spent decades playing, and now he's in MLS eager to dominate again

Throw in the supersized ego, the pile of trophies he has won, and the more than 500 goals he has scored, and you have a recipe for a superstar who often seemed unstoppable.
