As usual, he was decisive. Zlatan Ibrahimovic had the assist on the game winning goal scored by Claessen yesterday when Sweden defeated Georgia 1-0 in the opening match of the World Cup 2022 qualifier.
Following the match, the Swedish striker spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport:"I felt butterflies in my stomach, I didn't feel pressure but I was emotional, it was beautiful, a great sensation. National anthem? I had to study it, I learned it, it was nice to sing it. Did I sing? So so" but this romantic version of Ibrahimovic, only lasted so long since on Instagram he posted a picture of his embrace with Claessen with the comment "King Carlo Gustavo XVII" followed by "It's true, there is the old and the new king"
