Ibrahimovic: I knew I would make history with PSG
The Sweden international is happy with the success he has achieved in the French capital but is targeting even more as they charge towards another league title
Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he knew he would write himself into history when he joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2012.
Ibrahimovic was a €20 million signing from AC Milan and has scored over 120 goals in just under 150 appearances in all competitions in a period in which he has won three straight Ligue 1 titles.
PSG are currently unbeaten in the French top flight and sit 19 points clear at the top of the table after 19 games as they charge towards a fourth straight title.

"I feel good. I feel I have a lot of responsibility," he told the official PSG website.
"Before I came here, I knew it would be a big challenge for me because the club wanted to do something great, something big, to build up a club and bring them to the top. It was a project at the start.
"I'm very happy I was here at the start because it's easy to come here now where everything is settled down, everything is good and it's easy to make it your thing.
"When I first arrived, it wasn't so easy because I came from AC Milan and PSG was a different world compared from what it is today.
"I'm very happy, I was one of the first ones to be here and bring it to the top and I knew I would make history with this club, so that is what I'm doing and I'm still doing it.
"When I change club or stop playing football, I will sit down and lean back and say I was part of that project, so for that I'm very happy."
PSG are in Qatar as part of a tour, during which they are set to play a friendly against Ibrahimovic's former club Inter.
"I've been to Qatar a couple of times and I find it very nice. We have had a good preparation every time we have been in Qatar," he said.
"It also brought luck because we have been winning trophies and we want to continue with this tradition, so we will be coming for Christmas time and play the friendly game against Inter.
"I'm happy to be there representing my team and I am happy for Qatar also that will welcome two big teams like Paris Saint-Germain and Inter, so it's good for the people there, so let us make them enjoy the game."
