    In the 11 matches Helsingborg played before facing Celtic between July and August 2012, they scored 27 goals. 14 of those goals were scored by Sorum, Santos, Atta, Uronen, Andersson and the Rangers (RIP) reject - Bedoya. In the 1st leg in Helsingborg, all 5 players played for Helsingborg. 0 of them scored. 0 Helsingborg players also scored in the 2nd leg at Celtic Park, where we again won 2-0 and qualified to the Champions League 4-0 on aggregate.

    If we compare Helsingborg winning the 2011 Allsvenskan, to IF Elfsborg winning the 2012 Allsvenskan, Helsingborg's record was better by 4 points and 9 goals.

    2011 Allsvenskan

    1HELSINGBORG P30 W18 D9 L3 F55 A27 Pts 63 GD +28 = Won title by 5 points and 9 goals superior to AIK.

    2012 Allsvenskan

    1IF ELFSBORG P30 W18 D5 L7 F48 A29 Pts 59 GD +19 = Won title by 2 points and 12 goals inferior to BK Hacken.

    On form Ibrahmovic is a wonderful player; but his form is very inconsistent IMO. I've seen him have some truly awful games. Larsson was Mr Consistency. He's also less willing than Larsson was to put the team before himself and I've seen him on several occasions go in the huff when his teammates were playing badly- something Larsson never did. Larsson was the better player overall.

    No no. Zlatan belongs right now the world's top 5 striker. Zlatan have such attitude that he will quit immediately he begins to deteriorate maybe around 35 years old. He will be 32 in this fall and had his best season so far, including four goals against England in Sweden's 4-2 victory over England;) what a striker team we had in Euro 2004... Zlatan and Henke together thats Worldclass !

    Ibrahimovic is indeed world class - The perfect player if you need an important goal.

    They you say is absolutely true. But not really! The Helsingborg who won the 2011 the right not the gold team you faced in 2012 they had lost three key players. Rasmus Jönsson to Wolfsburg, Alexander Gerndt to Netherlands and Peter Larsson to Fc copenhagen.

    This always happens the Swedish champions that they lose 2-3 key players and worse for the next season. The same team has never won the Swedish league two years in a row last 10 years. However, this has not happened Elfsborg their team is better than when they won. The clubs in Europe are Ahart of their money then get Swedish champions retain their players

    Henrik was a very good player. But not worldclass like ibrahimovic... Zlatan has won the Italian league several times, winning goal league where and been the best player several times. He was bought to Barcelona for 600 million scored 18 goals in 30 matches but they work out not with the coach. This year, he made 29 goals in 32 matches in the French league. Henrik has never been at this level

    So I must have imagined Henrik Larsson setting up both goals for Barcelona to win the UEFA Champions League Final 2-1 from behind, doing so by coming off the bench... Larsson could have played for any team in any league in the world, but chose to stay at Celtic for 7 years because of his incredible loyalty. The kind of loyalty that is beneath a man of Zlatan Ibramovic's lack of class.

    Whether you agree Ibramovic in his prime is better than Larsson was in his prime, Larsson was world class and it's ignorant to state otherwise.

    Ibrahimovic never set up a goal for Chic Charnley :101:

    Seriously though, he's a fantastic striker, just not as fantastic as Henrik. If Larsson was given the opportunities Ibrahimovic has had, he'd have been equally, if not more successful.

    Its only Celtic fans who think Henriks was a greater player than Ibrahimovic. Zlatan is is a totally unique players the ultimate striker. Troubled large 195 cm and 95 kg but still relativit fast and a technique that is brilliant. Never have they been such a great player with such a dazzling technique and speed. Zlatan is a unique and every team he plays in they're winning title

    Seriously though, and I'm not being bias here, I promise. Larsson was a more complete and better player than Ibrahimovic. Ibra is quality no denying that, his goalscoring record and club history speaks for itself, however he does have several faults to his game. One being he is a lazy * with some serious loyalty problems.

    Henrik did not have many faults to his game, if any, the complete striker. Ask most people and they will tell you that, even some of our friends from across the city would at Castle Greyskull. His attitude towards the game was alot better than Ibrahimovic's too. If you were to ask Ibra himself I'd bet that he would admit that he owes alot to Henrik for helping to make him the player he is today.

    Ibra has never won the Champions league or European Golden Boot either:86:

    Henrik was also voted the greatest ever Swedish footballer was he not? could be wrong.

    Cannot believe I have just seen someone say that Larsson was not world class, unbelievable statement especially from a Swede:97:
