Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he has sent Denmark "into retirement" after scoring twice to seal Sweden's Euro 2016 place at the expense of their neighbours.

The 34-year-old scored both of Sweden's goals in a 2-2 play-off second-leg draw in Copenhagen - a result that gave them a 4-3 aggregate win.

"They said they were going to send me to retirement," he said. "I sent their whole nation into retirement."

Paris St-Germain player Ibrahimovic - who also recently claimed to have put both Sweden and France "on the world map" - has now scored 62 goals in 111 appearances for his country.

His goals on Tuesday - a scuffed finish from a corner followed by a curling 25-yard free-kick - ensured that even two late goals from the 1992 European champions were not enough to deny the Swedes a place at the France finals.

"If I have to finish with a Euros, then that's destiny," added Ibrahimovic. "Thanks for all the support and see you in France. There's still a few months [before it begins] but we'll be there."

The play-off defeat also signalled the end of Morten Olsen's 15-year reign as Denmark coach.
