Transfer Talk: Ibrahimovic Presented

Barca's newest signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic has officially been presented yesterday evening to the press and the fans at the club's stadium, Camp Nou. Some 60,000 fans were in attendance, breaking all records for a Barca signing - the most before this having been 35,000 for Thierry Henry two years ago, as well as 20,000 for Ronaldinho in the summer of 2003. Ibra got more than the two of them combined.

There were some issues with controlling the fans, but Ibrahomvic, who claimed the number "9" jersey previously occupied by Eto'o, seemed quite stunned but pleased by the turnout: “There have been two unforgettable moments in my life – the births of my children. Now, this is the third. I didn’t expect this. It’s a fantastic feeling. I am the happiest man in the world”.
