Zlatan Ibrahimović’s absence from the PSG lineup in their Champions League quarter-final exit against Barcelona has certainly raised questions. Despite being one of the most experienced and influential players, Ibrahimović struggled to leave his mark when it mattered most. Former Barcelona defender Éric Abidal weighed in on the situation, highlighting Zlatan’s importance to the team.
Abidal’s comments underscore the role of Ibrahimović as the driving force behind the team’s performances. As a veteran player, Zlatan is expected to lead PSG through high-pressure games, particularly in pivotal moments like the Champions League. His form often influences PSG’s success, and when he’s on his game, the team is more likely to be at their best.
However, Zlatan’s future at the club remains uncertain. His contract situation and potential age-related decline could impact whether he remains as PSG’s central figure going forward. While he’s been the cornerstone of the team since his arrival, questions about his next season and whether he’ll still be the main man for the Parisians are likely to linger until concrete decisions are made.
As the team plans for the next season, this could be a key turning point for PSG, with Ibrahimović’s role potentially evolving.
