Bad luck haunts Zlatan Ibrahimovic

(Baonghean.vn)- In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals early this morning (April 13), at Etihad Stadium, PSG was eliminated with a total score of 3 - 2. It seems that the "Zlatan brand" bad luck always haunts the team that owns him...

No one denies Ibra's class and technical quality in playing football. 10 consecutive years of winning the Golden Ball is enough to prove that he is the symbol of football in this northern European country. When Ibra jumps high to head, in assisting or in the race of speed and finishing, people see the prestige. Every time Ibra scores a goal, it creates extreme excitement for fans because of the extreme difficulty and unimaginable angles in each finishing phase.

At the age of 34, he is still extremely strong, still scoring regularly, still making many people jealous and always the terror of any defense. Obviously, he has the right to be proud, can hold his head high when he has 10 national championships at 5 clubs in 14 seasons, always the core in every championship campaign of the team he plays for, an extremely impressive achievement that few strikers can match.

Ibrahimovic is the greatest player in Swedish football.

However, Ibrahimovic’s biggest obstacle so far has been the Champions League, as he has never once led his team to the final. The label of “a player of small matches” has obviously followed him like a black mark that cannot be erased.

He is helping PSG have a great season in Ligue 1 (French national championship) when they are racing to the finish line with 83 points, 22 points ahead of Lion who is ranked 2nd. However, on the Champions League front, Ibrahimovic once again disappointed PSG fans when the "city of light" team had to stop in the Quarterfinals against the English team - Man City.

The reason is not entirely his fault, but fans naturally consider it the Swedish player's "curse".

In the first leg in France, Ibrahimovic was unable to beat goalkeeper Joe Hart and let the away team draw 2-2. This player was also very lackluster in the second leg early this morning (April 13), at Etihad Stadium and as a result, PSG was eliminated with a total score of 3-2. Once again, Ibrahimovic's unshakeable bad luck forced PSG to sing a "sad song" on the most sparkling "stage" in Europe - the Champions League.

Having witnessed his excellent performance in the round of 16, French fans were waiting for the 34-year-old to lead the team to the final and bring the prestigious Champions League trophy back to the glittering and magnificent Paris. However, at the Etihad Stadium, Ibra had a terrible performance.

The 34-year-old had two great chances to score, but he fell to goalkeeper Joe Hart in the final moments. The number 10 also failed to show his usual leadership ability when he failed to create any chances for his teammates.

Champions League bad luck makes Ibrahimovic just bow his head.

Ibra's dream of winning the most prestigious European club tournament was truly an unfinished dream when he had to wake up and startle in the middle of his dream.

The defeat against Man City once again proves that the Swedish player still cannot change his bad luck in the Champions League battles.
