Ibra likens himself to Benjamin Button
Ciro Immobile and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were ecstatic in celebrations during their respective Serie A games on Wednesday. Immobile boosted his chances of clinching the top scorer award as he netted his 35th goal of the season, moving four clear of Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo during Lazio’s 2-0 win against already-relegated Brescia and he now has a shot to go ahead of Robert Lewandowski, who had 34 goals. Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic scored twice to help AC Milan win 4-1 at Sampdoria. It was the second time in three matches that the 38-year-old has got a brace. On the other hand, Juventus, who won a record-extending ninth straight Serie A title on Sunday, fielded a much-changed team and lost 2-0 at Cagliari. Photo: TWITTER

Irrepressible AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic likened himself to film character Benjamin Button after scoring twice in a 4-1 Serie A win at Sampdoria.
"People tell me I'm old and tired but I'm just getting warmed up," the 38-year-old said after his ninth league goal. "I'm like Benjamin Button, except I've always been young, never old," he added, referring to the main character in a 2008 movie about a man who ages in reverse.
Ibrahimovic left LA Galaxy and joined Milan in January this year, making 17 appearances so far.
