He's had such a weird career.
Great international career. Some great moments in big games for his club teams and some big years in Europe. But never consistently great over a league season.
As an Arsenal fan I have a soft spot for him but also, man ... some of his squandered chances in 15-16 when Arsenal lost a winnable league to Leicester City were just awful.
He's kind of like soccer's Claude Lemieux or something. Clutch player who continually pops up in big moments but never the overall consistency and league production of an actual great player.
Also he seems to get better with age which doesn't happen with strikers not named Zlatan.
That season was never winnable. Im also an Arsenal fan. The final point total required to win was low but they weren’t all that great and pipped 2nd b/c Spurs are shit.
Even though Leicester’s only two losses were to us (welbeck’s extra time winner still gives me shivers).
I’m still mad Arsenal were only given 2 PK’s the whole season.
World Cup winner. Europa League. Champions league. French league (with a minnow). Italian league at 35. 100 goals at Arsenal.
Top 3 header of the ball in this era (Ronaldo 1).
As an Arsenal fan, with hindsight (knowing they’d sign Aubameyang 6 months after lacazette) they should’ve just kept him and not signed Laca.
He scores crazy goals. Not sure if you watch serie A bit he scored a volley a few weeks back that was so aesthetically pleasing.
Hated seeing him win in Blue, but my second team is Milan, so I’m pretty pleased with how it’s all turned out. I attended a match at San Siro on ‘02 (year they won CL) and even though it was only 1-0 it was by far my fav live sporting event ever.
