“We may be battling against relegation, but we're relaxed and the four points against the leading two teams is down to all the work we've done over the last six months.

“I want my side to always play with this mentality and am very satisfied with the character shown by my squad.”

Goalkeeper Antonio Rosati was more amazed than anyone at Ibra's lob from 25 metres.

“Ibrahimovic scored an extraordinary goal and took everyone by surprise. Nobody expected him to bring out a shot like that in those circumstances, but that's why he is a champion.”
