It all started with a dream. A dream that turned impossible into possible.

I was born in Malmo. I grew up in Amsterdam. I became wiser in Turin. I turned into a lion in Barcelona. I was nurtured in Milan, changed my view in Paris. I gained resilience in Manchester, had some fun in Los Angeles. Finally, I found peace in my new homeland Milan.

I am made by you. I hope my legacy is the new Zlatans that I created. All those who have a lion's heart. All those with fire in their eyes. All those who truly understand that nothing is impossible.

Thank you for everything.

Mino, we did it! The end of the journey was amazing. I miss you.
