He is famed for his skills with a football and a bulging trophy cabinet, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic will have to make some room on the mantelpiece after receiving a gold record award.

The Paris Saint Germain star was the recipient of the prestigious gift after his version of the Swedish national anthem was streamed three million times.

Ibrahimovic recorded his version of Du Gamla, Du Fria – translated as Thou Ancient, Thou Free – for an advert in 2014

My Gold Record Award for 3 000 000 Swedish streams of my version of the National anthem. Rumour has it that it’s the most streamed national anthem ever… Either way, it’s pretty cool.

The Swede claimed in an Instagram post, where he is pictured holding the record, that: 'Rumour has it that it’s the most streamed national anthem ever… Either way, it’s pretty cool.'

The Swedish striker's patriotism will be further put to the test as Sweden host Moldova in a crucial qualifier for next summer's European Championships on Monday.

Erik Hamren's side must beat Moldova and hope that Russia lose to Montenegro at home if they are to stand a chance of automatically qualifying for France.
