Speaking after the final, he gloated: “We are winning. After seven months I have two trophies with this club.
“There are other clubs that didn’t win for ten years. I’ve won what they won in ten years, so I’m happy with that.”
The super Swede opened the scoring with a stunning free-kick before crashing home a header in the dying minutes of regular time to win the clash.
And an emotional Ibrahimovic insisted he had proved his doubters wrong after netting his 26th of the season.
He said: “This is what I predicted. Everything I thought would happen has.
“The others didn’t see it. Apparently, to many, I could not do it. I keep doing what I am doing every year.
“I’m enjoying the game – the only thing is that I am enjoying it here in England now.”
