He could have forgiven himself for this prank! Ibrahimovic committed a vicious foul against Spain

Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a sneaky and unprofessional tackle in Sunday’s qualifying match between Spain and Sweden.

Zlatan Ibrahimović is known to perform both brilliant footballing feats on the pitch and arrogant and sneaky interventions on teammates. In Sunday’s final World Cup qualifying match in Qatar, unfortunately, only the latter occurred.

Sweden had a chance to advance to the final tournament from first place in the last match played against Spain, but they would have to win on their opponents’ soil. There was a lot at stake, the Swedes could not assert themselves. Perhaps that was the reason why Ibrahimović’s eyes glazed over and he showed what doesn’t belong on football lawns.

At a Swedish corner kick, Ibrahimović decided to literally ‘tackle’ César Azpilicueta from behind. A short run and Zlatan’s weight advantage meant that the Chelsea defender received a horde to the back and nearly knocked his teeth out on the back of teammate Laporte.

Ibrahimovic still contrived to pass his own push and collapsed to the ground with Azpilicueta, but Busquets saw it all and immediately ran to the referee. However, he didn’t give the fouling player a red card, but only one in the same colour as Ibrahimovic’s jersey, i.e. yellow.

However, the karma worked that evening and Spain won 1: 0 and advanced directly to the final tournament. Sweden will have to fight their visit to Qatar in the barrage.
