Who Tops Zlatan Ibrahimović's 'King Of The Jungle' Ahead Of World Cup Semifinals?

Well, it took 103 World Cup matches and many variations, but Zlatan Ibrahimović’s “King of the Jungle” power rankings has a new No. 1 ahead of Sunday’s Spain-Argentina World Cup final at New York New Jersey Stadium.

As part of his segments as a FOX Sports analyst this tournament, Zlatan has periodically dropped his “King of the Jungle” rankings.

But he, unsurprisingly, always had himself at No. 1. Why? “Being Zlatan is enough.” And he went beyond the pitch, evaluating himself as a broadcast analyst, joking at one point: It has been the best tournament so far. Imagine what the other journalists feel when they talk: I do a better job than them. … Lions don’t compare themselves to humans.”

Ibrahimović has had a change of heart, though, before La Roja and La Albiceleste face off. So going into Sunday’s 2026 World Cup final, Zlatan shared his latest rankings.
