The clash between Paris Saint Germain and Manchester United left both managers a series of conclusions, which they will try to build upon for the upcoming 2015-2016 season.
For PSG, it's pretty clear that their top men are in full shape to take on the challenge of adding a consecutive Ligue 1 title to their trophy case. Blaise Matuidi's anticipation gave Les Parisiens the chance to go ahead on the score board, with a little collaboration by Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea.
Phil Jones was also at fault for the first goal, unaware of Matuidi's run behind him and outmuscled at the end. http://t.co/lgfqama7US

Before the first half ended, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored another goal in this International tournament for PSG, putting to good use an assist by Maxwell. Zlatan's strike nutmegged David De Gea, who wasn't able to close his legs after the Swede hit the ball.
Great play! Zlatan makes it 2-0 against Manchester United. #ICC https://t.co/kE6CT1uDP7

Fans had their share of theories concerning De Gea's baffling performance, while Zlatan's skills were highly praised by most of them. Here are a few comments regarding two of this game's main characters.

1 against Chelsea, 1 against United. Imagine thinking Zlatan couldn't still do it in the Prem.

Phil Jones completely unaware of his surroundings. Not once does he look back to check where Zlatan is.

Is this Ibra's last game for PSG or is there one more after this?

De Gea playing bad on purpose so they can let him go to Real Madrid already
