They won their 19th trophy in history after defeating Sassuolo by 3-1, thanks to Frankie Kessie’s goal and Olivia Giroud’s brace
On his Facebook page, Zlatan said:
“For the past six months, I played without an ACL in my left knee.
Swollen knee for six months.
I was only able to train with the team 10 times in the last six months.
Took more than 20 injections in six months.
Emptied the knee once a week for six months.
Painkillers every day for six months.
Barely slept for six months because of the pain.
Never suffered so much on and off the pitch.
I made something impossible something possible.
In my mind I had only one objective, to make my teammates and coach champions of Italy because I made them a promise.
Today I have a new ACL and another trophy”
