One of the most popular players in the world is, without a doubt, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. While he had shared some views on some of the World Cup's main topics of discussion, he had not disclosed which team he wanted to see lifting the title on December 18...until now.
The Swedish ace spoke to media outlett 433, where he named the team he would like to see crowned as world champions. While some might have believed that he woul choose Portugal or France due to his close relationship with Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud, the "Lion" chose one of his former teammates as the winner of the tournament being held in Qatar.
"I hope Argentina can win the World Cup, I want to see that because of Messi," Zlatan stated.
The player's words have been categorized as shocking by some media outlets, mainly because he had stated he would love to see Olivier Giroud claiming the Golden Boot for the top scorer, something that usually involves playing as many games as possible.
