Paris, April 28 (IANS) Retired Brazilian footballer Ronaldo has said that Paris Saint-Germain forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is his favourite player in Ligue 1. The World Cup winner felt the 33-year-old Ibrahimovic is still a "great" player, reports Xinhua.
"I often go to Paris. Every time I go to the Parc des Princes, Ibra achieves something great. He stands out. He's my favourite player in Ligue 1," said the legendary striker.
The Swede has been the key for Les Parisiens' attack since joining the outfit in 2012 from AC Milan, helping fire the French capital-based side to two league titles. Ibrahimovic has scored 28 goals in 34 games in all competitions this season, including 17 goals in Ligue 1.
What makes this bit of information interesting is the fact that Ibrahimovic has openly said many times that Ronaldo was his idol growing up, and that he always looked up to him.
