Zlatan Ibrahimovic is an anomaly - the kind of player and person who refuses to be pinned down, categorized, understood.

It’s one thing to be messing around in training and hit a few lucky goals out of the air. It’s something else when it comes down to a single chance, in an even match, in front of thousands of screaming fans who will eithe make you a hero or villify you forever should you make it or miss it, respectively.

With that in mind, this list isn’t your average review of bicycle kick goals. Instead of examining the most "artful" or dramatic bikes, we've taken into consideration the match score and whether the goal in question made a difference when it mattered.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one cocky son-of-a-gun. But he may have outdone himself recently when he instructed his Paris Saint-Germain teammates not to talk to reporters.

Those reporters, obviously miffed at not being allowed to do their jobs because of Zlatan's "Zlatitude" (Yes, we know, we just said "Zlatitude." We're not proud of it, OK? Just read the rest of the article. Stop making fun of us. Everyone makes stupid puns and we happened to do that just now. Sorry. We'll try to do better next time.), questioned Zlatan as to why the PSG players wouldn't be speaking.

It may seem like Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been in the dark just because Sweden didn’t qualify for the World Cup (although we had plenty of Virtual Zlatan during ESPN's coverage of the World Cup). Ibrahimovic was a little salty after their 3-2 loss to Portugal in their World Cup play-off.
