He had said before the game: “Never been so good.” And the field has proved him right: a goal and an assist. Ibra protagonist, the protagonist Ibra, Ibra and decisive man of the match. All have seen, it could be argued, of course. If it happens in the Champions League, however, it has a different weight, because until now the Swede was reproached not to affect the most coveted cup. And then this can only be the night of Ibrahimovic, finally become a leader in Europe, dragging the Paris Saint Germain who beat Chelsea home and flies to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
from chelsea chelsea – It was the perfect match for the Swede: His Achilles’ heel was hiding in the evenings of Champions, Zlatan it was not one of those that you’re fond of when they hear the unmistakable jingle before the kick off. An avalanche of goals in the league, which always commands him, and wins wherever he goes, from Ajax to Juventus, Inter Milan to PSG until the same, but never a true acute in matches from inside or outside Europe. Just think of a year ago, these days, when Chelsea and PSG were facing at Stamford Bridge in the second round of the Champions League just like tonight: the Zlatan match lasted just 31 minutes, the time to be expelled. That night something seemed to break irrevocably: the phrases came against France “Country of m …” and the cover of France Football inviting him to leave Paris. Then contacts with Milan this summer and a farewell that seemed almost inevitable. Instead Ibra remained, recovered PSG on the shoulders and dragged him in the G8 European football (enjoying the turnaround in France, where many have changed their minds about him, including the same France Football , which a few days ago the headline “what remains Ibra!”). Had already griffato the first leg but he had not decided (2-1 Cavani was), this time completed the work: first the assist to rabiot, then the winning move on the beautiful ball got in the way by Di Maria. “Also this evening Ibrahimovic showed all his qualities – underlines Verratti, stopped by an injury from which promises to recover soon -. The company will make its assessments, he will do his but for my part I hope to remain here in the long as possible. ”
numbers – At 34, Ibra signed the thirty-first goal of the season, the nineteenth in the Champions League with PSG, record for a French club as well as its center number 50 in European competition. In addition, in the last 4 matches of Champions, he participated in the PSG 6 goals (4 goals and 2 assists): the yield is growing at the right time. It has no intention of stopping, as stated at 90 ‘: “Now we will not stop here. We will continue to give their best, to play every game to win.” Already, for him and PSG, fasting triumphs in the Champions League, this might be the right time: even with monsters like Barcelona and Bayern (Juve permitting) still in circulation, with a little ‘luck in the draw Ibra and companions could advance and become the loose cannon of the tournament. “Eye in the draw, will be a crucial detail,” he explained Laurent Blanc after the game. But with Ibra (finally) well, anything is possible.
