Super Zlatan! Swede Bags Swedish Footballer of the Year Award for the 9th Time

INTERNATIONAL

Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic said he was "still living my boyhood dream" after he was crowned Swedish footballer of the year for the ninth time. After ending last season with a Ligue 1 and Coupe de la Ligue winner's medal, and the honour of being the French top-flight's leading scorer, Ibrahimovic, 33, was unsurprisingly named 'Guldbollen' for 2014 at a ceremony in Stockholm on Monday, picking up the award for the eighth successive year [Freddie Ljungberg won in 2006.]

"What do you say after nine Gold Balls? I do not think there is so much to say. It speaks for itself," Ibrahimovic, who also received the honour in 2005, told the audience. "I am still living my boyhood dream with football. All these awards and golden balls are proof that you have done something good."
