"The last game in Euro will be my last game with Sweden. I hope it will not be tomorrow.

I will not participate in the Olympics because the last game will be the last game Sweden plays in this Euro. Let's hope it goes on for as long as possible.

To finish with a disappointment, never. Because I'm very proud to be the captain of Sweden and what I have achieved.

I want to take this moment and thank all the supporters because they made it possible for me to achieve what I have achieved. Without them it would not be possible.

Wherever I go, wherever I come I will always bring the Swedish flag with me and stand with it. For me disappointment doesn't exist. Only pride and gratefulness. I'm very thankful. So thank you."

Thank you, Zlatan.

Thank YOU.
