Zlatan Ibrahimovic's condition is on the rise, and tonight in the Fiorentina - Milan Serie A fixture, the 39-year-old may well exceed his performance from the Atalanta match. As per the latest update in the digital edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Swede has his sights set on breaking yet another record: becoming the most aged Serie A goal scorer in history - a feat presently held by another Rossoneri icon, Billy Costacurta, who registered against Udinese at 41 years and 25 days old.
The number 11 shirt holds a unique significance for the towering striker, and Fiorentina, whom he has scored 11 times against, represents his second-favorite target in Italy's top-flight. With the Champions League fixture looming on Wednesday and Divock Origi still carrying an injury.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic may well have a prime opportunity to increase his scoring record against Fiorentina, clinch a new personal milestone, and continue his age-defying campaign.
