Ibrahimovic joins Ronaldo and Messi in 500 club with outrageous goal
LA Galaxy superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored his 500th career goal in spectacular fashion against reigning MLS champions Toronto.
Former Manchester United striker Ibrahimovic celebrated the milestone thanks to an outrageous roundhouse finish on Saturday – the 36-year-old spinning and volleying with the outside of his foot.
Ibrahimovic, who scored to reduce Toronto’s lead to 3-1 before half-time, joined Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona’s Lionel Messi as the third active player to score 500 goals between club and country.
The stunning goal took Ibrahimovic’s tally to 17 for the season, 11 adrift of MLS leader Josef Martinez.
