– Troyes are the first team not to win any of their first 14 games in Ligue 1 since Grenoble in 2009/10 (D3 L11).
Markus Rosenberg missed a penalty for Malmo before Di Maria scored again and substitute Lucas curled in a free-kick to complete the rout.
“I lived a dream tonight, coming back”, Ibrahimovic told Uefa.com. From the first to the last minute, I savoured it. It was incredible!
Ibrahimovic has never before returned to Malmo to play a competitive game with a club side and, with tickets scarce, he arranged for the game to be shown on a big screen in the city’s main square, Stortorget.
In the second half, Ibrahimovic marked his homecoming with a goal when he robbed Anton Tinnerholm of possession to bear down on goal, and his strike proved to have too much power for Wiland to keep out of the net.
The result secured PSG’s qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League as runners up to Real Madrid in Group A, and Blanc expects a tough draw in the knockout stages. We played well, and I scored a goal. “This is where everything started”, Ibrahimovic said.
The visitors doubled their advantage through Angel di Maria as he raided into space down the flank and was picked out by a through-ball from Blaise Matuidi.
That’s after Real Madrid secured top spot when responding to their 4-0 home defeat by Barcelona at the weekend by racking up a four-goal lead away to Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice and Luka Modric and Dani Carvajal also netting.
Manchester United’s chances of making the last 16 hang in the balance following a frustrating and disappointing goalless draw against PSV Eindhoven.
Wolfsburg earlier surged to the top of group as substitute Andre Schürrle’s heroics saw them win 2-0 at the Arena Khimki.

In doing so, Atletico joined Benfica on 10 points and those two teams will contest top spot in Group C in Portugal next month in the final round of fixtures.
