Portugal football team captain Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina skipper Lionel Messi may have won many accolades in football but when it comes to having a unique identity of their own, they cannot trump Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic operates in his own parallel universe than other footballers do, be it handling the press or performing amazing acrobatic overhead kicks. And his uniqueness has been extended to a search engine with his name.

While the rest of the world is entirely dependent on the magic of Google to search for anything and everything, Ibrahimovic does not depend on the giant search engine as he now has his own 'Zlatan search engine', The Mirror reported.

The Paris Saint Germain striker does have a search engine named 'Zlaaatan.com', but it was not created by Ibrahimovic himself.

Andreas Killander, the creative director of the agency SweetPop, confirmed that they didn't ask Ibrahimovic's permission, but insisted that they hope the striker sees it as an amusing experience.

Explaining the site completely, Killander said that their search engine is linked to Google but all the searches are 'Zlatanified', adding that all the results have some link to Ibrahimovic, for example if a user types in Ferrari, they get stuff about the PSG striker's Ferrari and if one wants to know a recipe they get the 'Zlatan Burger'.

Killander claimed that Ibrahimovic is an idol, adding that the Swede is known the world over and that's why they chose him.
