In 2009 and 2012 Ibrahimović was pronounced the top scorer in Serie A. In 2014 Ibrahimović became the Swedish national team all time leading goalscorer beating the 82 years old record. So far he has won “Guldbollen” nine times, an annual award for Sweden's best football player of the year. Zlatan Ibrahimović's spectacular bicycle kick goal against England in 2014 won him the FIFA Puskás Award for "Goal of the Year" and earned him a place in FIFPro World XI. The same year he was named French GQ's "Man of the Year". Today Zlatan Ibrahimović is a true icon both on and off the football scene. Zlatan Ibrahimović lives in Paris together with his partner Helena Seger and their two sons, Maximilian and Vincent.
