Zlatan Ibrahimovic expressed disappointment in Noni Madueke's first-half performance as England faced Norway in a World Cup quarter-final on July 13, 2026. Madueke, who started the match, struggled to make an impact and was substituted at halftime for Bukayo Saka. Saka contributed to England's attack, which intensified after his introduction. Despite England eventually securing a semi-final spot against Argentina, Ibrahimovic's remarks highlighted Madueke's ineffective display in the first half. The young player remains under the management of Thomas Tuchel, who may provide him further opportunities in the tournament.
