PARIS.
Zlatan has now scored 150 goals in PSG.
In 176 games.
Tonight he scored two more and extended his personal goal record in a season to 44 goals when PSG beat Rennes.
– We continue to play to write history, Zlatan said after the game.
Two games left on Parc des Princes this season and PSG fired away in the second half, scoring four goals and winning 4-0.
THE GOALS CAME IN THE SECOND HALF
PSG dominated the first half and should have scored but went to halftime with 0-0. In the second the goals kept pouring in though. In the 50th minute Zlatan hit a sweet cross to Cavani on the left, he chested it back to Maxwell who beautifully nutmegged an opponent and smashed it crossbar in with his right, 1-0 to PSG and all players jumbed Maxwell with big smiles.
QUICK DOUBLE BY IBRA
Ibra was in good shape and four minutes after Maxwell's goal he scored as well. Di Maria crossed into the box (tied with Zlatan in the Ligue 1-assist table now), Zlatan jumped forward and backheeled it via the goalkeeper and in. 2-0. In the 78th minute he scored his second of the night, similar to Maxwell's with a left foot bomb crossbar and in, 3-0, Zlatan's 34th league goal of the season. In extra time, Cavani made it 4-0, an easy victory for PSG in the end.
Started the game and was man of the match. Gave the crowd a few pieces of football candy in the first, among them a perfect backheel pass to Maxwell. Shot a freekick only centimeters over the bar and had two more attempts in the first half but no goals.
They came in the second. First he semi-backheeled in 2-0 in the 50th minute only meters from Costil in Rennes' goal on a sweet cross from di Maria and with fifteen minutes left he bombed in 3-0 via the crossbar. He could have scored a hattrick, for example he was close to scoring with a sneaky no-look-shot open with Costil but it stayed with two goals.
He scored his 33th and 34th league goal, his 43rd and 44th goal total of the season and his left foot bomb in the 78th minute was his 150th goal in the PSG-shirt.
