Euro 2012: Stars to watch out for

Zlatan Ibrahimović, Sweden (AC Milan)

Ibrahimovic has long been considered one of the best strikers in the world. However, he has shown one major weakness during his career- a failure to show up in the big fixtures. He continued to fail when called upon for the big occasion at club level for Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan, but shone when facing lesser opponents.

With his fantastic talent and capability with both feet, Ibra is a joy to watch when on form and is more than capable of giving any top defender pause.

If the big AC Milan striker manages to turn on the style at Euro 2012, Sweden may be progress deep into the knockout stages like they did in Euro 1992.
