wedish national soccer team captain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has announced his retirement from international duty. A moment of farewell with his yellow jersey was captured on the new Volvo V90 campaign titled Epilogue.
“Making this film was of course emotional, but the time has come for me to hang up my shirt and hand it over to the next generation,” said Ibrahimovic. In the film, footage of him was taken after he participated in a match, followed by a road trip with his family. “For me it is all about looking forward, not back. A new journey is starting,” he added.
