Despite being 25 years his senior, AC Milan veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to training to play with his son Maximilian earlier this week.

The legendary Swede played alongside his own son for the Milan U18 side against some of the first-team squad on Wednesday, a day after the Rossoneri defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie.
Ibrahimovic was on the same side as his son as he helped the youth team take on some of his teammates who had played either no minutes or very few against the Lilywhites on Tuesday night.
It seems that both Zlatan and Maximilian were playing up front for their team, with the 41-year-old later taking to Twitter to show some footage from their training match.

Ibrahimovic's 16-year-old son has been on the books at the San Siro since the beginning of the season, when he arrived from the Hammarby youth set-up in his native Sweden. The legendary striker's other son Vincent, 14, also plays for a youth side at the reigning Serie A champions.
The Malmo native has been one of European football's leading forwards for well over two decades now, breaking many records and winning a plethora of trophies, but as the striker reaches the twilight stages of his career, he perhaps never envisaged ever playing alongside his offspring.

Ibrahimovic has not featured for the Italian champions this season as he has been recovering from an ACL injury he sustained during Milan's title-winning 2012/22 campaign. Although manager Stefano Pioli has not put a set date in place for the Scandinavian's return, he is expected to return to action in the coming weeks.
