Dan Posted 18 February 2013 Posted 18 February 2013 As others have said he's a very good player but he's not one of the great players. Overhyped is a more accurate description. His last international tournament goal was against Croatia in 2004. In fact all his tournament goals came in two matches in 2004. L'Equipe did a report which showed he has scored the highest % of knockout goals in the champions league, some 52% of his goals are scored at the knockout stage. However if you look at the stats you might notice a slight flaw in that argument 6. Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 30 goals (4 knockout) = 13% 5. Robin van Persie - 21 goals (5 knockout) = 24% 4. Didier Drogba - 39 goals (13 knockout) = 33% 3. Cristiano Ronaldo - 44 goals (20 knockout) = 45% 2. Lionel Messi - 56 goals (26 knockout) = 46% 1. Wayne Rooney - 27 goals (14 knockout) = 52% Less than half as many as Messi. Ibrahimovic's surprise me, I think he's better than Rooney, personally.
