Ibrahimovic, 38, rejoined Milan where he once played and won the Scudeto 2011 when he was much younger from MLS side LA Galaxy on a free transfer.
Three goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Franck Kessie, Rafael Leao, within five minutes helped Milan shrink 2-0 deficit goals from Rabiot and Ronaldo, with Ante Rebic scoring the game’s final goal to seal an 18-minute span of dominance for Milan.
With the victory, Milan climbs up to fifth position on the Serie A table as they have beaten title rivals Lazio and Juve in consecutive matches.
Reacting to their recent wins, Ibrahimovic said he would have made the club more successful had he been signed earlier.
Ibrahimovic told DAZN: “If I was here from the beginning of the season, we would have won the Scudetto!”
Ibrahimovic who has been hailed as a role model for his Milan team-mates added: “I am president, coach and player, but they only pay me as a footballer.”
The former Sweden international is out of contract at the end of the season, however, and has revealed he might not play for Milan after this season.
“There is still a month, so let’s see,” Ibrahimovic said amid growing speculation head coach Stefano Pioli will be replaced by Ralf Rangnick. “There are things that we cannot in control.
“Playing without fans is a pity, a strange situation. We do our job, we are professionals. It could have been the last time they have seen me live in San Siro.”
Milan travels to Napoli for their next match, July 12.
