Ibrahimovic netted all four goals as the Swedes saw off an experimental Three Lions line-up 4-2 in Stockholm on Wednesday night.
He netted a second-half hat-trick to secure victory for the Blagult, with the coup de grāce his 30-yard overhead volley to beat out-of-position Joe Hart.
However, the Paris St-Germain striker reckons his 20th minute opener was the one he will remember most from the first match at the newly-built Friends Arena.
"It was a nice goal," Ibrahimovic said of his acrobatic strike that has since been heralded as one of the best scored of all time.
"It is one I enjoyed very much, even in a friendly. I've scored a couple of nice goals in my career.
"Of the four, the first goal I liked more because it was an historic goal, the first in the new arena. But four goals is not bad.
"When I saw the goalkeeper was out of his net, I tried to put it over him. It was a good try and when it comes off it's fantastic. If it doesn't, everyone will ask why you didn't keep possession and try and win the game."
