  He has, however, decided to have one of his tattoos lasered off. That is not a particularly comfortable process, with Ibrahimovic finding that out the hard way. The design in question sits on the left-hand side of Zlatan’s torso.

  WHAT ZLATAN SAID

  Having billed himself as a sporting deity when competing at the highest level for clubs around the world, Ibrahimovic decided to get a tattoo which read: “Only God can judge me.” He has now had that removed in a painful procedure.

  Previously explaining the tattoo, Zlatan had said: "They could write whatever they wanted in the papers. Scream anything at all from the stands. They still couldn't get at me. Only God could judge me! I liked that. You have to go your own way, so I got those words tattooed on me."
