Ibrahimovic sets new Serie A record

The records just keep on tumbling for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who reached double figures for the Serie A season with his latest strike for AC Milan on Saturday. 

The ex-Manchester United, PSG, Inter and Barcelona ace went into the final match of the 2019-20 campaign in vintage form, having scored seven in nine games since the Italian top flight resumed in June following the coronavirus pandemic. 

In the process Ibrahimovic passed 50 league goals for Milan with his double against Sampordia in July, making him the only man to reach a half-century for both the Rossoneri and Inter. 

And after netting for his club against Cagliari at the weekend the Sweden legend can now boast another little piece of Serie A history. 

His 55th-minute strike was his 10th league goal since rejoining Milan in January, making him the oldest player to reach double figures in a single campaign in history at 38 years and 302 days. 

Ibrahimovic takes the record from Lazio, Torino, Juventus and Italy idol Silvio Piola, who was 38 years and 127 days old when he achieved the feat for Novara in the early 1950s.
