PSG did their duty and won.
Ibrahimovic came close to touching målrekordet but more were not.
We’ll have to wait three more weeks to see what PSG really go for, in Madrid.
It was a night when the billions construction sites and their stars would go out and do their job.
Real Madrid made it to Malmö, Malmö. PSG went to Ukraine, stamped in at Lviv Arena and stamped out with three expected points.
It was a match that was too uneven to ever be called exciting. Aurier gave PSG the lead immediately and extinguished what little hope Shaktar Donetsk had to be able to control the match and defend themselves.
David Luiz loaded to 2-0 and thus it was definitely over. In the final minute came the 3-0. Zlatan initially looked to calculate the target as his but it was ultimately recorded as an own goal. Ibra may hunt on to beat målrekordet and it will.
Huge performance
In three seasons Zlatan has made 108 goals for PSG. Impressive is too small and worn words to describe such a performance. Albeit that four years have passed since Sportbladet courted Zlatan Ibrahimovic on his 30th birthday and he turns 34 on Saturday, his career is nearing its end. Let go of that he still is a bit otajmad, not in full form after the last injury.
But in his eyes after the game appeared just how hungry Ibra is still to win and be the best.
He is not as unchallenged leader of the group and on the field earlier in the PSG. But no one can take away from him what he has done for the club this year, his greatness, his historic achievement. Even those Frenchmen who got Zlatan Ibrahimovic in his windpipe must bow to his achievement.
PSG has become routine off
Otherwise there is not much more to say about the game. As early as three years ago, I was in the Ukraine and saw PSG play, in Kyiv 2012. As the team was lack of experience in the CL context, pressure is great at all. Now, three years later, this matches PSG wins without effort, and you should win, all nights of the week.
There will be first against Real Madrid in three weeks as the Paris Club really is to the test. Then Angel Di Maria is sure to be
are worse things …
Speaking of painful memories and thoughts remind ourselves match, played away from home for Shaktar, that there are bigger, worse than the loss of football.
During Euro 2012, I was in Donetsk, landed on the shiny new airport, saw Ukraine- France on the mighty Donbass Arena. Today there is nothing left of the airport and the stadium has been damaged in the fighting, those that are estimated to have claimed 8,000 lives of so far.
Shaktar Donetsk is a victory in itself, despite the loss against PSG, to play on, to keep the club banner up in the Champions League, against all odds.
