Barcelona ace Ibrahimovic: I do miss Italy

Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is delighted to have been named Italy's Player of the Year this week.

Ibra also was awarded Italy's best foreign player trophy.

“I like Barcelona but I miss Italy. I haven't been back to Milan since I left not even to do a bit of shopping. But I am in contact with you,” Ibrahimovic revealed.

“I made a lot of friends outside of football here and I also hear from some of my former team-mates; Patrick Vieira and Julio Cesar are those with whom I have maintained a relationship.

“Now Patrick isn't there anymore. But I follow your championship on TV and above all I watch Inter. It's normal. They will win the derby on Sunday. I really believe that they won't have any problems because Inter have a great Coach who always knows what to do.”
