Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Playful Moment at UNFP Trophy Ceremony
The 2014 UNFP Trophy ceremony was filled with glitz, glamour, and a few memorable moments, but one that stood out was Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s acceptance speech. The PSG star took home the “Best Player of the Season” award for the second consecutive year, adding to his already impressive collection of accolades.
As he received the prestigious honor, the Swedish striker was playfully pressured by the evening’s presenters to speak a bit of French, which he did with his signature flair. While his attempt wasn’t exactly perfect, it earned a round of applause – though it also sparked some laughter from his PSG teammates, goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu and midfielder Marco Verratti. The two teased Ibrahimovic for his French skills, but in true Zlatan style, the striker seemed unfazed, adding a touch of his trademark confidence to the moment.
It was all in good fun, and the incident only added to the legend of Zlatan, who continues to dominate both on and off the pitch. As the evening unfolded, it became clear that the PSG squad, with their star player at the center, were enjoying themselves, even as they collected their well-earned trophies. It’s a reminder of Zlatan’s larger-than-life persona, which he continues to “zlatanize” wherever he goes – even with his teammates in tow.
