The Swedish skipper Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who announced his retirement from international football after his national side were knocked out of Euro 2016.

Having scored 62 goals in 116 games for Sweden, the 34-year-old striker officially hung up his international boots. His last game was a 1-0 loss to Belgium in their final game of Group E in 2016.

Zlatan took to Instagram to share his thoughts and thanked the loyal fans for their continued support and pays tribute to himself with the post on Instagram.

I came from this place people call “ghetto Rosengård”, conquered Sweden and made it my country. My way. I am Sweden. A huge thank you to the Swedish people – without you I would never have been able to fulfill my dreams. You will always be in my blue and yellow heart. I love you.
