Zlatan Ibrahimovic is Sweden's most famous export and a national hero.

The enigmatic Paris Saint-Germain striker is the national team's best player, their captain and one of their greatest ever.

He's clearly the hero for a lot of young Swedes, as shown in the video below.

Ahead of the Euro 2016 qualifier against Montenegro - a game in which Zlatan scored his 55th and 56th international goals - the 33-year-old was introduced to two young mascots.

Their reaction was absolutely heart-warming.

Sweden ended up winning the game 3-1 and are now second in Group G, trailing Austria by four points.
