TIL Desk Sports/ Zlatan Ibrahimovic took his tally to more than 500 club goals as he scored twice to help AC Milan beat Crotone 4-0 and move back top of the Serie A standings.

The 39-year-old Ibrahimovic is in his second spell at Milan, where he has now scored 83 goals. His goal tallies for other clubs are Malm (18), Ajax (48), Juventus (26), Inter Milan (66), Barcelona (22), Paris Saint-Germain (156), Manchester United (29) and LA Galaxy 53.

“It means I’ve scored some goals in my career, but what’s important is to continue and help the team in the best way possible,” Ibrahimovic said. “My job is to score goals and create opportunities to score goals.”

Ibrahimovic fired Milan ahead in the 30th minute on Sunday with his 500th club goal and extended that tally in the second half. Ante Rebic scored two goals in less than a minute shortly after.

“Looking at how he (Ibrahimovic) prepares himself and how he trains, it’s hard to be surprised. He’s a champion,” Milan coach Stefano Pioli said.
