"Ibra is one of the best strikers of all time, on par with Leo and Cristiano"

One of the players who have marked the development of football in the last decade and a half has been Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swedish striker has scored goals wherever he has played and has earned himself a place in the sport's elite.

Roberto Mancini, his former coach at Inter, had nothing but kind words for the striker on 'Sport Mediaset'. His praise, perhaps excessive, placed him on a par with Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi.

"He will be remembered as one of the greatest strikers of all time. He is at the same level as Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo," said Mancini, who praised his return to Milan.

At the same time, the Italy coach took the opportunity to talk about another player as controversial as the Swede and who has a similar class, Mario Balotelli.

"If he only thinks about football, he can come back to the national team. The doors are open to him. Mario has a lot of quality, so it's up to him," he said of a player with whom he has had a love-hate relationship all his career.
