Ibrahimovic Scores Twice As Milan Win Opener
Badmus Abdulsobur
AC Milan's veteran forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice and missed an open goal as he secured a 2-0 win over Bologna to get their Serie A campaign off to a winning start today.
The 38-year-old broke the deadlock with a towering header in the 35th minute and added the second with a penalty the first in Serie A this season five minutes after the break.
Milan extended their unbeaten run to 15 games in all competitions as they started where they left off last season, suggesting they are capable of battling for a Champions League spot.
"If I was 20-years-old, I’d have scored another two," said Ibrahimovic, who has 14 goals in 22 matches since returning for a second stint at Milan in January.
"I don’t want people to talk about my age, I want to be treated the same as everyone else. It doesn’t matter if I am 38, I want to be treated like someone aged 20 and do the same work."
Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic added that Ibrahimovic was the difference between the sides.
"They had Ibrahimovic and we didn't," he said. "Everything they created came from him. Apart from that, it was an even match."
