Zlatan Ibrahimovic vented his frustrations with a horror kung-fu style kick on Ghananian defender as Paris Saint-Germain slumped to a 2-0 defeat to Evian on Wednesday night.
The Swedish superstar launched a dangerous studs-up challenge on Evian defender Jonathan Mensah, who felt the full force as the Ligue 1 strugglers ended les Parisiens' unbeaten run ended after 26 games.
Ibrahimovic was clearly feeling the heat following his country's failure to qualify for the World Cup, and somehow escaped without a booking for his rash tackle that could have left the Ghanaian international badly hurt.

PSG missed out the chance to equal a club record of successive wins as second-half goals from Clarck N'Sikulu and Modou Sougou secured a famous win for the hosts.
And Ibrahimovic blasted his side's display as their lead over Lille at the top of the table was cut to just one point.
He fumed: 'It was a bad game. We did not deserve to win.
'The team has not been good and we never found our rhythm. This is a good wake-up call. Every game is difficult and we must stay focused.'
