Lille goalkeeper Mike Maignan has recounted how he once branded Zlatan Ibrahimovic a “sh*t attacker” when he was a youth on the books of Paris Saint-Germain, and the surprising reaction of the Swede in the aftermath.
The 24-year-old was a standout performer for Lille last season as they finished second in Ligue 1 to PSG, and as he prepares for a Champions League match with Chelsea, he has reflected upon his time with the capital side.
He was a youth player there from 2009, as a 14-year-old, before graduating to the reserves in 2012.
