#IBRA After the club’s owners spared no expense to bring in AC Milan pair Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva as well as Brazilian starlet Lucas Moura from Sao Paolo, many football fans are looking forward to seeing if Paris Saint-Germain can mix it with the big boys in Europe this season.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side got their French league campaign off to an indifferent start over the weekend, however, with their new Swedish striker bailing them out with a brace at home to Lorient.
