And suddenly, it’s all about Zlatan again. It’s the weekend of France’s Clasico (Le Classique) as the meeting of PSG and Marseille jousts with Real Madrid v Barcelona, Bayern Munich v Dortmund and Juventus v Milan for the title of Europe’s classic Clasico. The French match won’t win that title but this ‘Clasico’ carries extra spice because Marseille, revitalized by Marcelo Bielsa’s eccentricities, are top of Ligue 1 and PSG, vitalized by their owners’ billions, lie second. Zlatan Ibrahimovic watches midweek Champions League tie between PSG and APOEL Nicosie Thus, with all the timing of a thespian ‘luvvy’, Ibrahimovic is suddenly ready for curtain up and is vying for centre stage. He has not scored since August, nor played since September and a couple of weeks ago Sweden’s medic was hinting that we are beginning to see Zlatan’s tired body call for surrender.
