After a goalless first half at the Parc des Princes, Ibrahimovic opened the scoring on 63 minutes when he converted Lucas's cross from close range.

The Swede added to his tally and effectively made the game safe when Serge Aurier's cross from the right found him in acres of space on the penalty spot to finish left footed.

Adrien Rabiot scored from a Maxwell cross to complete the rout with 15 minutes left.
