Zlatan Ibrahimovic has sparked controversy in Sweden by stating, “With all due respect to women, you cannot compare men’s football with women’s football.” This remark came in response to criticism of the Swedish football federation for not giving the same reward to Therese Sjogran, who holds the record for the most caps in women’s football in Sweden, as it did to Anders Svenssson for breaking the selection record. Despite the controversy, Ibrahimovic clarified that women’s football deserves attention and recognition but argued against direct comparisons with men’s football, citing differences in individual performance.
