Zlatan Ibrahimovic has entered a discrimination row in Sweden by claiming the country's prime female players should be rewarded with bikes instead of cars.
The Swedish fa has given a brand new Volvo to former Southampton midfielder Anders Svensson for breaking the record number of caps (148) for a male player.
But female player Therese Sjogran, who has represented her country 187 times, didn't receive a similar recognition.
The PSG striker, who was this week named Sweden's sports star of the year for the eighth time, said: "The attention that women's soccer gets in Sweden is unequaled in the world.
"It could be a shocking issue. they are doing their work marvels and that they can continue to be intimate, however you can't compare the individual performance of a woman with a man.
"In Europe. they compare me with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. once I come to Sweden, they compare me with a female player. With all due regard to girls, they must be paid in proportion to what they generate (financially)."
Asked how female players should be rewarded, Ibrahimovic said: "Give them a bicycle with my autograph and that will be enough".
