Former Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes that the club was unfairly deprived of two Scudettoes due to a corruption scandal with referees in 2006.

"I will continue to feel that the two Scudetto they took away from us are mine. How could they give one of them to someone else, and how could these others accept it? If you disqualify the winner and give me his medal, I won't want it. You are insulting me by doing so. If I walk around with this medal around my neck and say: "I won," it would be undignified.

People often ask me: "Have you not realised at Juventus that the referees have suddenly become better?". I answer: "No, I realised that we were the strongest on the pitch. That was the only way we won. When I go to the stadium in Turin and see the number 38, I don't think it's a mistake. It is an exact number and it is true justice.

Sports justice in Italy is a disgrace," Ibrahimovic wrote in his book Adrenaline.
