Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been named as the Ligue 1 player of the season. This is the second consecutive season in which Ibrahimovic has won the award. This follows a spectacular season in which he has helped the club retain the league title. Ibrahimovic has been one of the best players in the French league for the last two seasons. He is also one of the world’s highest-paid players earning a reported £ 15 million per year after tax. He has more than repaid this enormous fee by managing to score 25 goals in the league.

He has also scored eight goals in just 10 Champions League outings this campaign. Ibrahimovic missed the crucial second leg against Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals. Many have felt that the French outfit would have progressed to the semifinals if the Swede had been present. Ibrahimovic thanked his teammates for helping him score as many goals after receiving the award. The presence of the 32-year-old has been rumoured to be the reason behind Edinson Cavani looking to leave the club in the summer.

Ibrahimovic has won numerous individual accolades over the years. He has also been a perennial winner of league titles in the last decade.

“I am very proud. It shows that PSG’s season was very good. Mine, too, maybe the best of my career,” said the striker after receiving the award. Ibrahimovic will not be seen at the World Cup 2014 after his Sweden team were knocked out by Portugal in the play-off round. The 32-year-old, though, still has the opportunity to finish the season on a high after having already lifted two titles with the PSG. The club has won the French cup and the league title this campaign. PSG take on Montpelier in the final match of the season.
