Zlatan Ibrahimovic claims AC Milan would have won the Serie A crown if he had been at the club since the start of the season.

Ibrahimovic, who arrived on a free in January, scored Milan's first as they fought back from 2-0 down to beat league leaders Juventus 4-2 on Tuesday night.

Adrien Rabiot and Cristiano Ronaldo scored quickfire goals early in the second half to give Juve a 2-0 lead.

But Milan were awarded a 62nd minute penalty after a VAR check deemed Leonardo Bonucci guilty of a handball, and Ibrahimovic converted from the spot.

Ibrahmovic then turned provider to set up Franck Kessie's 66nd-minute equaliser before Rafael Leao and Ante Rebic made the points safe in a chaotic second half.

Ibrahimovic told DAZN: "If I was here from the beginning of the season, we would have won the Scudetto!"

He added: "I am president, coach and player, but they only pay me as a footballer."

The victory leaves Milan fifth in the Serie A table, still 26 points back from champions-elect Juve despite Tuesday's win.
