Juve, Milan, Barca, PSG? Where Has Zlatan Ibrahimovic Played His Best Football?

Ibrahimovic's three goals and seven assists in nine games this season with PSG is equalled, perhaps, only by last season's contribution for Milan with five goals and four assists in eight matches.

Ibra scored more with Milan, but also only reached the quarterfinals where they lost to Barcelona. PSG were eliminated at the same stage, by the same team, earlier this season.

It is difficult to split the two as it is clear that the 31-year-old is in his prime and has hit a productive peak. Equally capable of scoring goals and providing them, the Swede set the standard for a good season as early as 2008-09 and only deviated because of a change of country and style of play.

That he has overcome this as fast as he has in Ligue 1 is a big achievement and suggests that his time at PSG, so far, has just eclipsed his previous showings, solely on the value of having adapted to a new new league so quickly.

Responsible for 43 percent of his side's goals this season, Ibrahimovic has embraced his role as the focal point of the team and is thriving in the French capital.
