Ibra: Finals a turn-off now

Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has claimed the World Cup will not be worth watching without him after his side lost to Portugal in Tuesday night’s play-off.

Ibrahimovic scored twice but his performance was topped by a hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo in the much anticipated battle between the star forwards, Portugal winning 3-2 win on the night, 4-2 on aggregate.

At 32, it seems Ibrahimovic’s last chance to again play on the world stage has now passed.
