Through the opening 45 minutes of the new Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic provided a moment of brilliance coupled with a rare glimpse that he's actually mortal.
Seven minutes into the opening match with Stade de Reims, Ibrahimovic opened the scoring with a tidy finish when Javier Pastore's perfectly placed through ball found the big Swede wide open in front of the net.
However, Ibrahimovic had a Fernando Torres-like moment later in the half when he failed to double PSG's lead after missing a complete sitter in front of an open net.
