Stade de France – a historical arena for big finals that is starting to be a habit for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to visit.

What is your best memory so far from this arena in northern Paris?
In the semifinal in the French Cup last Tuesday you scored your 42nd goal of the season (all competition matches included), and thusly broke the club record and your personal scoring record. You have the capability to deliver more and more, and break record after record. In last year's League Cup final against Bastia you scored two goals, does that mean you will score three tomorrow?

The semifinal away against Lorient in the French Cup ended 0-1 and PSG is through to the Cup final. Your immediate thoughts after the match?
Lorient played well and managed to keep it close the whole match. They should have had a penalty in the first half, and in the second Sirigu had to make some tough saves. But in the 75th minute Europe's foremost scorer struck again and decided the match. Tell us about the goal
Artificial turf is pretty unusual for you, but at the same time it should suit PSG's passplay. Do you think the pitch affected your game in any way today?

Zlatan sat down and talked to uefa.com before PSG's megaclash with Manchester City Tuesday night. "Zlatan Ibrahimović told UEFA.com, with the Paris forward sure he is hitting the best form of his career, aged 34, as his side head for City."
UEFA.com: You have reached the final rounds of the UEFA Champions League with Paris again. How determined are you to make history with this club?
UEFA.com: When you reflect on this season, how happy are you with how you have performed?
UEFA.com: You are 34 now. Would you say you are playing better than ever?
UEFA.com: As you get older, do you appreciate the special moments on the pitch even more?

PSG went to Guingamp with the most backup-oriented team of the season. Zlatan wasn't part of the squad, as well as rested Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Thiago Motta, Maxwell, Edinson Cavani and Angel di Maria. Marco Verratti and Javier Pastore were missing due to injury.
LUCAS GAMEWINNER
And with all those players out, the biggest PSG-star on the pitch had to step forward. Lucas Moura. It was 0-0 at halftime and in the 56th minute he scored 1-0 on a penalty after Nkunku had been fouled. 16 minutes later he made it 2-0 on an easy shot after a nice passed from Kurzawa into the box. It was Lucas 7th and 8th league goal of the season.
PSG won 2-0, the three points however had no actual importance since PSG already has won Ligue 1. Now focus is completely on Manchester City on Tuesday.
