Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 'What the f***, I'm not the king, I'm god'... former Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Benjamin Stambouli lifts the lid on his short spell with the 'crazy' swede

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was once hailed the 'king of Paris'. A title he refuted and demanded to be known as 'god'.

That's how highly the former Paris Saint-Germain forward holds himself, and it's a level of self-confidence and arrogance that comes as no surprise.

His larger-than-life personality has established him as one of football's true characters, with his stature both on and off the pitch idolised by supporters across the world.
