LIGUE 1 may boast some of the world’s premier footballing talent.
But former Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic reckons it’s boring without him around any more.
Ibra left PSG in 2016 after bagging 156 goals in 180 appearances with the French giants.
Since then he has played for Manchester United and LA Galaxy before heading back to his old stomping ground at AC Milan.
He told Telefoot: “So, do you miss me in France or not? Because since I left, what are you talking about, nothing? It must be boring to work in France now.”
PSG’s current front line might have something to say about that.
Megastars Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar all play for the Swede’s former club in one of the most fearsome front lines around.
In fact, the Parc des Princes is packed full of talent – Sergio Ramos, Marco Veratti and Achraf Hakimi are just a few of the other big names in the French capital.
