Paris Saint-Germain 4-0 Nantes: Ibrahimovic signs off with Ligue 1 record

Zlatan Ibrahimovic reached 38 goals for the Ligue 1 season as PSG beat Nantes in the striker's final league match for the champion.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic broke the record for goals in a single Ligue 1 season as he bade farewell to Parc des Princes in Paris-Saint Germain's 4-0 win over Nantes on Saturday.

PSG's number 10, the club's leading all-time goal scorer, confirmed this week that he will leave when his contract expires at the end of the season, and his final home match for the champion proved to be another memorable affair.

Ibrahimovic, given a standing ovation as the stadium clock reached the 10th minute, opened the scoring with a rather unorthodox finish from close range and was thwarted a number of times by goalkeeper Maxime Dupe as he chased the goal which would take him to 38 for a single season - one beyond the Ligue 1 record set by Carlos Bianchi in 1977-78.
