In Turin, Ibrahimovic won Foreign Footballer of the Year in Serie A in 2005 after helping Juventus win the title in his first two seasons at the club.
The second title was stripped from Juve after the Calciopoli scandal and Ibrahimovic moved onto Inter.The skilful forward has established himself as a key player in the Inter side helping them win the Serie A title in the last seasons.
On the international stage he has scored 18 goals in 49 appearances and he will be Sweden's big hope of causing a shock in Austria and Switzerland. Ibrahimovic has never been shy of controversy and in September 2006, but two days before a Euro 2008 qualifier with Liechtenstein, he violated team curfew and was sent home from the squad.
