Swedish footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic clearly rates himself highly.

Ibrahimovic has reacted angrily to news he placed second in a list of all time Swedish sports people, ranked by one of the country's daily newspapers.

He was runner-up to five-time Wimbledon champion Bjorn Borg, an accolade with which the Paris Saint-Germain striker was none too impressed.

Congratulated by the paper, he said: "Thank you, but to finish second is like finishing last."

Asked for his top Swedes, Ibrahimovic replied: "I would have been No 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, with due respect to the others."
