The Swedish striker did not wait too long to put his name on the scoring sheet in PSG’s opening league fixture away to Reims. Fresh from resting all summer while the World Cup took centre stage in Brazil, Ibrahimovic calmly slotted the ball across the goal line after only 8 minutes of play.
However, Ibra later squandered an opportunity to put PSG 2-0 up from the penalty spot inside the 19th minute. His shot, sent to the right, was saved by Reims' goalkeeper before this happened:
PSG should have been leading by 4, but were only leading by 1, after 20 minutes of play. Reims get a FK, and score. That's what happens.

PSG should indeed have been leading by four goals before Reims made it 1-1 and even 2-1 after 34 minutes.
Zlatan did a Torres before Reims scored.
Zlatan is human after all! https://t.co/eNXgedYN2p

The fact remains that Ibra scored the first goal of the 2014/15 Ligue 1 season with his left foot
