Paris Saint Germain; Zlatan: I’m The Son Of God

By -
Paris Saint-Germain striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has thanked Ajax Amsterdam fans for welcoming him with a ‘welcome back son of god’ banner.

The Swede striker made his Champions League debut for Ajax 12 years ago and returned to his former side on Wednesday night.

"No, of course it was for me", he told reporters when asked whether the banner was for him.

“It was amazing, fantastic (being back). It's the third time I have come back here with three different teams. I always felt welcome every time. It was here that everything started.

“The ArenA is amazing and I always enjoyed playing here, so it was a happy moment.”

PSG were leading early through an Edinson Cavani goal, but failed to put the game to bed and allowed Ajax to come back into the game.

“We were winning 1-0 and we had a very good opportunity at the beginning of the second half … we missed. They get a goal from a free-kick: 1-1, an away point,” Ibrahimovic added.

“Let's see what happens in the next game. Now PSG have to react and take points from Barcelona."

“We had good opportunities to score and didn't. This is the Champions League – the opportunities you get you need to punish the opponent. We punished them once and they punished us back.”

PSG next welcome FC Barcelona at home on 30 September, while Ajax travel to Apoel Nicosia.

DOYIN ADEOYE assesses the origin of this cultural trait, its effects on individuals and reactions from the public. Although tribal marks are becoming extinct because of the extant laws that forbid parents or anyone from marking a child’s face, tribal marks in the olden days were interesting features used to adorn the faces.

Gerald Mellin left a note with his funeral wishes, the inquest heard A depressed businessman going through a divorce decapitated himself by tying a rope to a tree and driving away in his open-top car, an inquest has heard. Gerald Mellin, 54, of Neath, showed the rope to his 33-year-old wife two weeks earlier when he had asked her to quit their business and their farmhouse. He cancelled his life insurance and ran up debts because he wanted to leave her "with nothing," the hearing was told. Swansea coroner Phillip Rogers recorded a verdict of suicide. Mr Mellin's widow Mirrielle told the hearing she had won a court order the day before her husband's suicide for an extra £100 a week from him to help with the running of the house.
