An almost perfect afternoon. By winning at home against Nice on Saturday (4-1), on behalf of the 32nd day of Ligue 1, PSG has prepared the best way of receiving Manchester City on Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Champions League : winning with style. All thanks to a gala Ibra, yet XXL author of a match punctuated with a triple.
After three wins in a row, OGC Nice lets pass an opportunity to get closer to AS Monaco, Bordeaux defeated Friday (1-2) but still five points ahead, and is now under the threat of a win Lyon against Lorient (21h Sunday). PSG, he finds the taste of home win after the defeat against Monaco before the international break (0-2).
A Ibra fire
Quickly, the Eaglets have understood that it would be difficult to counter the top scorer in Ligue 1. At the start of the match, Ibra tried his luck from outside the area without frame (5th). A warning. For ten minutes later, the Swede has cracked a classy goal. Upon receiving a cross from 40 meters David Luiz, he mastered the ball with a “coat hanger” control before dispatching the ball under the bar helplessly Cardinale. A symbolic purpose as it allows him to become the top scorer in Ligue 1 in operation with 105 goals.
But Ibrahimovic does not stop there. Discounts and precise in his very inspired, he regaled the Park from its usual ease. A huge performance punctuated by two magnificent goals: a gun free kick (33 ‘), measured at 112 km / h after the Nice equalizer and a goal on the left against a smoothly conducted by Adrien Rabiot (82). Meanwhile, David Luiz went there of his goal (48th) on a well placed corner kick by hervin ongenda young, enterprising but not specific enough in the finish.
Yet Ben Arfa tried
Nevertheless, signing his 30th goal this season, tied personal best, the Swede released PSG a small disappointment. For if Ibra had initiated hostilities, he saw Hatem Ben Arfa make him blow for blow. Two minutes after the opening goal, the Frenchman, positioned at number 10 behind Valere Germain and Alassane Pléa, took over the ball in midfield. The rest is magic. An acceleration, a blistering hook on David Luiz and passive perfect shot from 25 meters into the side netting cooled the Parc des Princes (17th).
Elusive, who still claims to a place in the France group for Euro answered the most beautiful way to his absence from the last list of Didier Deschamps. His goal has rebalanced the debates in the first period before Zlatan not bend the case. He especially recalled how the former Lyon liked the Paris stage.
The bad thing is a David Luiz disturbing
The Nice were also able to count on a mixed provision of David Luiz. Challenged selection, the Brazilian has not reassured before receipt of Manchester City on Wednesday and his duel with Sergio Agüero. Lacking sharpness and sketchy, the defender has consistently been late in its interventions. Not enough to reverse the course of a match quietly run in the second period by Parisians.
And therein lies the key to PSG. Without injured and with Ibra in the form of his life, PSG has planned his quarter-final of C1. Manchester City, who also won on Saturday in Bournemouth (0-4) has warned.
