DBasia.news – As a wealthy club, which also has top-notch player material, Paris Saint-Germain has not won the Champions League. What did Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who played for PSG, say?
Over the last few years, PSG has been dominant in the domestic arena. Since the 2012/2013 season, Les Parisien has won nine titles, only Monaco and Lille were able to disrupt their dominance.
During that period, PSG were routinely strengthened by star players. If in the 2012-2016 era there was Zlatan, now PSG have a deadly trident in Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe.
However, in the period when they were dominant in Ligue 1 since 2012/2013, PSG’s best achievement in the Champions League was only one runner-up finish. The rest are four times as quarter-finalists, three times in the last 16, and once in the semifinals.
When asked about PSG who are still only in the stage of dreaming of winning the Champions League, Zlatan Ibrahimovic brought up Chelsea.
“Training and managing a squad full of top players is not easy. From what I can see, PSG are doing what they have to do,” Zlatan said as reported by RT.com.
“Being number one in the world doesn’t happen in 24 hours. It’s a marathon journey filled with ups and downs. It took Chelsea (nine years to win the Champions League) after being purchased by Roman Abramovich.”
The Swedish forward was also asked about a possible return to PSG. He replied confidently, “I will be PSG’s sporting director when I want to.”
