The Milan striker provided an assist on his Sweden comeback against Georgia last night.
"I felt the butterflies in my stomach. No pressure but I was excited, it was nice, a great feeling," the 39-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic says his return with the Sweden national team gave him butterflies in his stomach.
The Milan striker provided an assist on his Sweden comeback against Georgia last night.
"I felt the butterflies in my stomach. No pressure but I was excited, it was nice, a great feeling," the 39-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"We fought hard, we are united, but we missed something. Maybe we showed too much respect towards Georgia. It wasn't an easy game, but we took the three points home," the striker continued.
"It was thrilling to return, but now we must continue. We can only improve by staying together and getting to know each other better.
"We are missing the fans. I can handle it, I am accustomed to playing without fans, but I miss them. We want to have the Swedish people on our side. They help us so much."
The Swede posted a picture on Twitter after the game using the caption "Carl XVII Guztaf", pretending he is the heir to Carl XVI Gustaf, the King of Sweden.
"There's the old king and the new king," Ibra jokingly commented.
