Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:46Rock-paper-scissors decides who gets more teams to choose from; KSI selects Bayern Munich and Zlatan takes PSG.
  2. 2:08Ibrahimović interrupts his confident running commentary to ask which button shoots.
  3. 3:00The halftime quiz has KSI struggling with Future Stars while Ibrahimović repeatedly nominates himself.
  4. 4:09A goalless match goes to penalties; the shootout result comes at 05:54.
  5. 6:22KSI mentions his Dagenham & Redbridge ownership, prompting a discussion of Ibrahimović's price.

KSI wins on penalties. Getting there, though, means facing Zlatan Ibrahimović's conviction that the ideal soccer team consists almost entirely of Zlatan Ibrahimović.

The halftime quiz supplies the best illustration. While KSI struggles with the Future Stars category, Ibrahimović collects points by naming himself for every position. Even the remaining vacancy gets a confident dismissal: "Goalie is not important, so I don't need anyone there."

This is the first episode of Head2Head, EA SPORTS FC's celebrity gaming series, with KSI choosing Bayern Munich and Ibrahimović taking his former club Paris Saint-Germain. It's a gameplay-and-banter show on the publisher's own channel, rather than a game trailer.

Ibrahimović's self-belief survives an early, practical question: "Which button do you shoot?" The match finishes goalless before the shootout exposes further confusion about the goalkeeper controls. KSI takes the trophy.

The episode drew about 48,000 views in its first 12 hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos. Among the comments, viewers pick out Ibrahimović's reaction to KSI mentioning Saka and his insistence on never losing.

There is still a little transfer business to discuss afterward. KSI explains that he co-owns Dagenham & Redbridge, giving Ibrahimović an opening to consider a striker role. His response is economical: "I'm expensive, my friend."
