Steven Gerrard says it is the best goal he has even seen 'live'. Alan Shearer went one step further and said it was the best of all time. It even left motormouth commentator Alan Green speechless.
What a load of guff. Zlatan himself said that he has scored better and that his first on the night, the first in the newly opened stadium in Stockholm, was more pleasurable for historical reasons.
Personally, I was not blown away by it one iota. At the end of the day, it was an overhead kick into an open goal in a meaningless friendly against mediocre opposition following a goalkeeping error.
Compare that with Diego Maradona's solo effort against England in a World Cup quarter-final or Marco van Basten's incredible volley in the final of Euro 2008 and Ibrahimovic's strike pales into insignificance.
Maradona's and van Basten's goals not only took the breath away but were big goals on big occasions that helped their national sides win major tournaments.
