Volvo have released a powerful piece of emotional storytelling to thank Zlatan Ibrahimovic for his service. After fifteen years representing Sweden, Zlatan played his final match in the yellow jersey against Belgium on Wednesday at Euro 2016, with Volvo’s new ad capturing the moment and the striker’s journey back to Sweden.

The spot features Zlatan and his family taking an emotional road trip home, retracing the highs and lows of his career before reaching the rough Malmö neighbourhood of Rosengård, where it all began.

“We are very proud that we have been given this opportunity to share this personal moment in Zlatan’s life and career.
