Juve win ends Ibrahimovic eight-year winning streak

Milan: Zlatan Ibrahimovic's fantastic record of having won eight consecutive league titles came to an end after his AC Milan side's 4-2 defeat to Inter at the San Siro on Sunday, despite an Ibra double, which handed Juventus the Serie A crown for 2011-12.

Juventus wrapped up the Scudetto with one round remaining thanks to their four-point lead after a 2-0 win over Cagliari on Sunday, and for the Swede it ended a sequence which he has compiled in the shirts of five clubs in three different countries.

His run started in Holland, when he was a part of Ajax's 2003-04 Eredivisie-winning side ahead of his summer move to Juventus. The Turin outfit went on to claim successive titles in Ibrahimovic's two years with the club, though they were both later revoked as part of the Calciopoli investigations.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic\'s record of having won eight consecutive league titles came to an end after Juventus won the Scudetto on Sunday.

After the Old Lady were demoted to Serie B as part of their punishment, Ibrahimovic left for Inter Milan, where he would play a huge part in three further Scudetto successes before a €66 million move to Spanish giants Barcelona.

In Catalunya he endured a difficult spell, thanks largely to a troubled relationship with coach Pep Guardiola, but was still a part of the team which won La Liga in 2009-10.

His tough times in Spain led to a move to Milan, and he added an eighth successive league triumph last season as the Rossoneri chalked up their first Serie A success in seven years.

However, they were unable to defend their crown this term, with Sunday night's defeat ensuring that Juventus take the honours and Ibra finishes trophyless for the first time in nine seasons.

Nevertheless, the 30-year-old striker has confirmed that he will stay at Milan over the summer after pledging his future to the club in the aftermath of Sunday's defeat.

"I am willing to see out my contract with Milan and respect 'her'," Ibrahimovic told Aftonbladet. "I'm sorry not to have won the Scudetto in statistically my best year to date."

Ibrahimovic has scored 28 goals so far in the league and has provided eight assists.
