‘The best player in the world on current form’ – Goal’s World Player of the Week Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Bayer Leverkusen 0-4 Paris Saint-Germain
Toulouse 2-4 Paris Saint-Germain


Five goals in two games mark Zlatan Ibrahimovic out as arguably the best player in the world on current form.

At 32, the striker is showing no signs of slowing down as he continues to surpass his own remarkable standards following another week of brilliance for the Ligue 1 champions.

Goal’s Hocine Harzoune said: “His two goals in the 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen – one a stunning goal from the edge of the box – effectively sent les Parisiens into the Champions League quarter-finals after the first leg.

“Ibrahimovic then scored a hat-trick in the 4-2 win over Toulouse to ensure PSG remain five points clear of second-placed Monaco. His first goal came from the penalty spot before a second-half header made it two and he sealed his hat-trick with a tap-in after his chipped penalty was saved by Zacharie Boucher.”

Congratulations to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Goal’s 249th World Player of the Week winner!
