Ibrahimovic gives Xavi surprise greeting

Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic opted against giving his former Barcelona teammate Xavi a conventional greeting at last night's Ballon d'Or ceremony.

Ibrahimovic, who played alongside Xavi during his stint at Camp Nou, scooped the Puskas award for Goal of the Year at the FIFA event for his sensational strike against England while competing for Sweden.

While on the red carpet of the event, Ibrahimovic shocked Xavi by smacking him in the back of his head before greeting the playmaker and his wife.
