Now, we take for granted the enigmatic skills of Zlatan Ibrahimovic; but it wasn't always that way. At Euro 2004, on the 18th of June, a young striker from Ajax scored a goal that was so outrageous, most pundits called it a fluke. Now we know that's not the case.

The goal against Italy was in the 85th minute and leveled the game for Sweden. Sweden and Denmark drew 2-2 in the next game and Italy were out. Later that summer Ibra signed for Juventus and the legend of Zlatan was born.
