'Ibrahimovic is immortal, like Ronaldo' - Ancelotti marvels at AC Milan and Juventus stars' longevity

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is “immortal, like Cristiano Ronaldo” – according to their former manager, Carlo Ancelotti.

The 39-year-old Ibrahimovic is leading the Serie A scoring charts and 35-year-old Ronaldo is in second, with Ibrahimovic’s form sparking a long-awaited title charge from AC Milan.

Ancelotti admits he thought Ibrahimovic’s career was coming to an end when he headed to MLS with LA Galaxy in 2018 but he has continued to shine since then, scoring 53 goals in 58 games in the U.S. and 20 in 29 since his return to Italy.
