Zlatan Ibrahimovic expressed his displeasure on Monday at being ranked second place after tennis legend Bjorn Borg on a Swedish daily newspaper’s list of the 150 top Swedish athletes.
''Thank you, but to finish in second place is finishing last,'' Ibrahimovic told Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, which congratulated him for coming in second place.
Paris Saint-German star Ibrahimovic, was ranked second after five-time Wimbledon champion Bjorn Borg on the newspaper’s list, presented on Tuesday, of the top 150 Swedish Athletes.
