England and Manchester United legend David Beckham has congratulated former Paris Saint-Germain teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic on reaching 500 career goals, joking that, "500 goals, makes you really, really old."
The 36-year-old, who is considered to be one of the best players in the history of the sport, scored his 500th goal in outrageous fashion, spinning and volleying the ball during LA Galaxy's 5-3 loss to Toronto in Major League Soccer over the weekend.
That goal ensured that Ibrahimovic joined Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona's Lionel Messi as the third active player to score 500 goals for club and country in his career. This got his former teammate Beckham to hail him for his achievement.
"500 goals! That makes you really, really old."
