Blaise Matuidi scores a goal so good he earns the approval of Zlatan

One man dared to Zlatan.

Harry Engels

Blaise Matuidi dared to Zlatan. It was a decision that risked death, but it paid off.

Every day, Matuidi goes to training with Paris Saint-Germain and watches a god at work. He watches this god defy gravity and physics. He watches this god break the space-time continuum, He watches this god make the sport of football look beneath him. And all the while, this god does not sweat, for this god is not challenged by such a feeble game.

Finally, all of that time watching paid off. All of those notes allowed Matuidi one fleeting moment of god-like brilliance, although he did sweat.

Best of all, he received the approval of his benevolent overlord.

And with that, the decision to risk death was worth it.
