AC Milan striker Ibrahimovic hits out at Mbappe Argentine taunts

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he's proud of his role in the development of French football.

The Swede insists he was key to PSG becoming a global name when he was there.

“I love France, I spent four years in France and took French football to a worldwide level. This isn't arrogance, it's confidence in one's own means," he said.

On PSG striker Kylian Mbappe, Ibrahimovic said: “I am not worried about him, he'll surely win another World Cup, but in Qatar I was sure Argentina would win."

On the taunts of Argentina's players after the World Cup final, he added: “Messi is considered the best player in history and will be remembered for winning the World Cup, but the others? I cannot respect, as a professional, those who behave like that."
