AC Milan striker Ibrahimovic happy with record-breaking goal

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic became the oldest player to score in Serie A with his goal in defeat to Udinese.

At 41 years of age, the Swede scored. The previous record holder was Alessandro 'Billy' Costacurta.

“He can keep the record, I don't want this record," joked Ibra on Sky Italia, with Costacurta in the studio.

“I am proud to be in the history of this club, because it is a great club with great history, players who did amazing things, and having my name in there means a lot to me. This goal did not bring points, which is what I wanted. I was also proud to be captain, but the game didn't go the way we wanted.

“I felt very good on the field, I hadn't started a match in 14 months and the important thing is to be in good shape. If I feel as good as I did today, I can still play, I have no doubts about myself."
