Zlatan was finally back and had an assist when PSG comfortably beat Monaco 0-3. Read his thoughts after the game.
You're back on the starting lineup, so this was your premiere in this year's league. You assisted both of Cavani's goals tonight and seemed to be enjoying yourself. What do you think of your league premier?
PSG manages to keep the team intact every season, only adding a few strong recruits from one year to the next. Tonight Di Maria presented himself with a marvelous pass to Lavezzi's 3-0. Do you feel that you are a stronger contender for the Champions League title this year?
Now, there is a national team break and two important matches for Sweden, first against Russia and later against Austria at home on the national arena. What are your thoughts before the team gathering?

Zlatan is finally back from his knee injury. He has been training with the team all week and is selected in the PSG-squad for the away-game against Monaco tomorrow. Read his thoughts before the game.
You got a good start to the pre-season in North America, but since then you have been on the sideline due to an injury. How is Zlatan and how does it feel to get started again?
PSG has started Ligue 1 with three straight wins without you or Di Maria on the pitch. Will the Argentinian midfielder also play on Sunday and what are your expectations concerning your offensive collaboration?
This week, another recruit arrived in Paris, defender Layvin Kurzawa from AS Monaco. Have you had a chance to see him play and evaluate what strengths he will bring to the PSG squad?
