Zlatan Ibrahimovic delivered a typical response to Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible bicycle kick goal against Juventus on Tuesday night.
Ronaldo's wonder goal in Real Madrid's 3-0 victory was so breathtaking that all the home supporters in Turin gave him a standing ovation - despite it leaving their side's Champions League quarter-final hopes in tatters.
The Portuguese star had earlier broken the deadlock to became the first player in history to score in 10 successive Champions League games and by the end of the night he'd effectively booked his side's place in the last four in unforgettable style.
OH. MY. WORD! 😱

Over in America, Ibrahimovic was acting as a pundit for ESPN just days after his stunning MLS debut for LA Galaxy in which he scored with his first shot from 35 yards before heading a dramatic winner in stoppage-time.
The former Manchester United, Barcelona and PSG talisman handed out some deserved praise but couldn't help a trademark Zlatan dig. He told ESPN FC: "A goal is a goal. If you can help your team to score a goal, it's important, however you score. But when you score beautiful, of course, it's more ... nice, let's say, that it's beautiful. It feels really good.
"I think he is a goal machine. He scored a beautiful goal today but he should try it from 40 metres and see if it goes in."
The overhead kick goal from 40 metres is of course reference to his spectacular effort for Sweden against England.
Zlatan was also asked to describe his long-range debut goal in Saturday's LA derby.

He said: "When the situation came, it's about thinking fast, and I saw the goalkeeper was standing out. When I approached the ball, it landed perfectly, and even when I touched the ball, I felt immediately like, 'This one is going in.'
"I just needed to wait for it to hit the net, because you can feel those things immediately when it's a perfect touch. And it went in and the whole stadium went crazy, the teammates, I went crazy. And to describe that feeling is difficult.
"I played a lot of derbies, I played a lot of [rivalry] games, and I know it's a lot going on in the game and emotions, pressure, moments, adrenaline -- all these kind of things. I mean, I was pumped. I came in to do my job, and nobody will stop me."
