The veteran was mercurial in front of goal once more, netting a hat-trick to send an ominous warning to their next Champions League opponents
Paris Saint-Germain prepared for their Champions League tie against Manchester City in the best possible way with a 4-1 win over Nice on Saturday.

The newly-crowned Ligue 1 champions had Zlatan Ibrahimovic's hat-trick to thank for the convincing victory, with the Swede netting a hat-trick that takes his total strike count in Ligue 1 for the season to 30.

David Luiz supplied the pass that allowed the 34-year-old to open the scoring in the 15th minute, but Nice pulled one back only three minutes later through Hartem Ben Arfa.

However, Laurent Blanc's side were not to be denied and Ibrahimovic stepped up to a free-kick on the edge of the area, smashing it home to put PSG back in the lead.

Luiz made it 3-1 when he bundled in a corner before Ibrahimovic made sure of the result, the in-demand veteran putting the finishing touch on an excellent individual move from Adrien Rabiot.

Les Parisiens, who wrapped up the title with a 9-0 battering of Troyes last month, can now welcome City to Paris on Wednesday high on confidence as they look to take a lead from the first leg.
Ibrahimovic tested the water early on with a fierce 20-yard effort that went just wide of the right-hand post, but the Sweden international opened the scoring in the 15th minute.
Luiz's punt over the top was controlled brilliantly by Ibrahimovic, who smashed in from close range via the crossbar.
The lead was short-lived, though, as Ben Arfa levelled in some style. The former Newcastle United forward picked up the ball on the halfway line and drove at the PSG defence before curling an unstoppable 25-yard effort to the right of Kevin Trapp.
It was a similar moment of quality from Ibrahimovic that led to PSG's lead being restored. Lucas Moura was bundled over on the edge of the box by Niklas Hult and the striker lashed a fierce free-kick into the top left-hand corner.
PSG should have been 3-1 up before the break as a fluent counter attack led to Rabiot teeing up Blaise Matuidi, who curled wide when one-on-one with Yoan Cardinale.
The hosts did extend their lead in the 48th minute when Hervin Ongenda's corner from the right was flicked home at the near post by Luiz.
Another PSG corner caused panic shortly after, this time Ibrahimovic denied a hat-trick when his header was nodded off the goalline by Vincent Koziello.
The visitors missed a great chance to get back into the game when Ben Arfa did brilliantly to squirm a pass into the path of Alassane Plea, who dinked wide with only Trapp to beat.
PSG wrapped up the win with eight minutes remaining, Ibrahimovic collecting Rabiot's through ball and coolly slotting past Cardinale for his 30th league goal of the campaign.
