Zlatan Ibrahimovic was so pleased with his hat-trick that he gave the match ball its own first class seat

Don't ever change Ibra

Zlatan Ibrahimovic could read us IKEA instructions and we’d find it entertaining.

So we let out more than a little chuckle at the reverence he paid to the match ball after scoring all three of PSG’s goals in their 3-1 victory over Lorient.

Ibra was so worried about the safety of the match ball that he opted to give it its very own seat on board the flight home, in first class no less.

It’s not often that we find ourselves envious of footballs but Zlatan has somehow managed to induce that!
