Nice, France: Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic announced on Tuesday he will retire from international football after Euro 2016.

"Sweden's last match at the Euros will be my last match with Sweden. So I really hope it won't be tomorrow," Ibrahimovic told a press conference ahead of Wednesday's final Group E game against Belgium in Nice.

The 34-year-old is his country's record goalscorer with 62 goals and is looking to become the first player to score in four European Championship finals.
