The 34-year-old was goaded by some Danish fans before the playoff clash but Ibrahimovic sent a message back to them in a way only he can.
"There was the thought that this would send me into retirement. I sent their entire country into retirement," he told Sweden's Kanal 5.
"All of the chat before, and we took ourselves to the playoffs," he added.
"Many were disappointed with that, but we still had a chance.
"We got Denmark, everything was against us. We hadn't won [against them], I hadn't scored a goal, but we stayed patient.
Ibrahimovic also hinted that he would call time on his international career after next summer's showpiece event in France.
"It's destiny that I get the chance to finish at the European Championships," he said. "A lot of people complain that I'm old and weak, but it doesn't look like that."
