The Unai Emery era is underway at PSG after the Parisians played their first friendly of the season, against West Brom. The first goal of Emery's tenure came from a very appropriate source, the consensus best offensive center back in the world: David Luiz. Bang.
Fair play to David Luiz for not changing his ways. Here he is scoring an OG vs West Brom yesterday. pic.twitter.com/y8PNlrLOdW
This silly season, the majority of transfer talk has been focused around one name: Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Reportedly, the striker is on the verge of joining Manchester United and is asking for an annual salary of $16.7 million. So, what is Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s current worth? How much money does the Swedish captain earn in a season?
Fact: the sport of soccer is growing in the United States. Fact: there are still people who don’t like the sport and probably won’t ever like it. Fact: more professional athletes in the United States are getting into the world's game, especially American Football players.
It doesn't matter which sport they play, whenever a superstar announces that he's looking for a new home, rumors start flooding in from all sides. In soccer, there are perhaps only three names more recognizable than Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the whole world.
Well, as soon as Zlatan said the words, "I came like a king, left like a legend", the media started going wild with rumors.
Zlatan's last Ligue 1 game with PSG was a special production. He still has one more game with the Parisiens (the Coupe de France final Saturday), but this was effectively his send-off. It didn't disappoint, and neither did he.

Sweden have revealed their 23-man roster for this summer’s European Championship in France, and it’s clear that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will have to be at his very best if the Swedes are to maintain any hope of advancing from a very difficult Group E.
PSG is not just Zlatan. Maxwell scored an incredible goal today in a 4 - 0 rout of Rennes at the Parc de Princes. His 50th minute goal included a nutmeg to beat one defender and a powerful right footed shot to the top corner. While you see Zlatan scoring powerful goals for PSG, Maxwell is equally as good. Maxwell has great skills for a defender and has a nose for the ball. Some amazing stuff here.
Maxwell just scored the nastiest goal I've seen in awhile
Over the weekend, Rennes vs Guingamp proved why PSG have basically run away with the Ligue 1 title this year. In case you hadn't noticed, Paris St. Germain have done pretty well in Ligue 1. They are 28 points ahead of second-placed Monaco, which incidentally, is the same amount of points that seperate Manchester United (5th) and Newcastle United (19th) in the Premier League.
It has been a week and we miss Champions League very much. Thankfully, the second leg of the quarterfinals kicked off today with Real Madrid hosting Wolfsburg and PSG traveling to Manchester. With Real Madrid down, 2 - 0 to Wolfsburg, it was time for Cristiano Ronaldo. The superstar scored two goals in two minutes and completed his hat trick in the 77th minute to give Real Madrid the 3 - 2 lead on aggregate. Ronaldo scored in the 15th and 17th minutes in a stunning turn of events. Just like that, Madrid was tied with Wolfsburg and had all the momentum.
