In a club where Zlatan Ibrahimovic plays, everything else holds little value as he is the undisputed king in the dressing room and the pitch. Ibrahimovic has made it very clear throughout his career that he thrives on being the best and in the limelight.

In such a scenario, it is only normal that his team-mates don’t get the credit they deserve. Also the fact that Ligue 1 is least watched among the top 5 leagues in Europe makes it all the more difficult for non-Ibrahimovic players to be noticed.

One such poor soul is Lucas Moura. The Brazilian finished another brilliant season, but was overshadowed by Zlatan and his decision to leave the club. Right now, all the PSG-related news is how the Swede is a legend with the club and whatnot, but a look at Moura’s numbers—13 goals and 5 assists from 28 starts—will make one realize that he deserved more mentions than he got.
