10 players who were bigger than the clubs they played for

1) Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Paris Saint-Germain

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has played for some of the biggest clubs in the world, but Paris Saint-Germain is the only one that achieved elite status because of the Swede. PSG did not really have a rich history having only won two league titles until 2012.

It’s not something you would expect from a club that represents the capital of France. When the Qatari owners decided to buy the club they wanted to establish PSG as one of the superpowers in Europe and they knew Zlatan was the player that could be the headliner of their project.

Zlatan helped the French side win 4 titles in 4 consecutive years. There was no adjustment period, it was all instant, because that is the kind of player Zlatan is, one who can change things with his mere presence.

Now after his departure to United, PSG have struggled. Despite boasting other great players, they remain incomplete without their former talisman. The primary ambition of the club is to win the Champions League but it’s difficult to see that happening at the moment
