Bennacer: Ibrahimovic brought winning mentality to AC Milan

Algeria midfielder Ismael Bennacer has singled out Zlatan Ibrahimovic for inspiring AC Milan to aim for the Serie A title this season with his winning mentality.

So far this season, the 39-year-old has scored 15 goals in 15 league appearances for AC Milan who are six points behind their arch rivals Inter Milan.
