Ibra in the mood as PSG destroy Dinamo

The Sweden striker, playing in a deeper position than usual, laid on goals for Alex, Blaise Matuidi, Jeremy Menez and Guillaume Hoarau as second-placed PSG took their points haul to nine from four matches in Group A, one behind leaders Porto.

"He [Ibrahimovic] uses his abilities to help the others and that is why he is a fantastic player," PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti told reporters.

"That's the difference between a great player and a champion. He is a champion, he is a fantastic leader."

Dinamo went close when Josip Pivaric's low cross-shot whizzed just wide.

Thiago Silva almost made it 2-0 in the 40th minute when the Brazil defender's point-blank header was saved by keeper Ivan Kelava.

"Rabiot had a great game and Verratti did well after the break," said Ancelotti.

"The best thing after such a rout is just to have a good night's sleep," said Dinamo coach Ante Cacic. "We lacked focus at the back but we are a very young side.

"Ibrahimovic sees things that others don't. We're not the last team who will struggle to contain him."
