The AC Milan striker spoke to French media outlet France Inter and was brutally honest about the World Cup-winning squad for Argentina.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not one to keep his mouth shut, in fact Ibrahimovic has some of the best quotes of any sports player on earth. In an interview with French media, the AC Milan forward offered his thoughts on World Cup winners Argentina.

In typical Ibrahimovic fashion, the 41-year-old didn’t bite his tongue and was very tough on World Cup winners other than Lionel Messi. The former LA Galaxy star was not happy with the Argentina national team’s bragging rights after defeating France on penalties.

When it came to Kylian Mbappé, Zlatan knows the PSG star will be “fine” and has already won the World Cup and scored a hat-trick in the final. Here’s what Zlatan Ibrahimovic had to say about Lionel Messi and his Argentina national team teammates.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Argentina

‘I said Argentina will for sure win the World Cup. If you want to remember the Qatar World Cup for the rest of history, who is going to win? (Argentina captain) Messi. (Not Mbappe?) No, because Messi is considered the best player in history.

‘I’m worried about the other players of Argentina because they will not win anything else. Messi has won everything, and he will be remembered. But the rest, that behaved badly, we can’t respect that.
