Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gregory Van Der Wiel in Reported PSG 'Bust-Up' at Troyes

Christopher SimpsonMar 15, 2016

Paris Saint-Germain's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gregory van der Wiel reportedly got into an argument at half-time in Les Parisiens' 9-0 thrashing of Troyes on Sunday, resulting in the latter leaving the dressing room and not joining his team-mates in celebration after the game.

French football journalist Jonathan Johnson relayed the news, courtesy of outlets L'Equipe and Le Parisien:

As French football writer Andrew Gibney revealed, Van der Wiel was not present as the team celebrated their title triumph:

Ibrahimovic bagged four goals in the match as PSG scored nine—more than the hosts had managed at their own stadium all season.

The win wrapped up the title for Laurent Blanc's side with eight matches to spare. Check out the highlights here, per BT Sport:

While Ligue 1 is sewn up once again, Blanc will be eager to keep his players focused as they're still in with a shot at an historic quadruple.

Les Rouge et Bleu will face Lille in the Coupe de la Ligue final and are in the Coupe de France semi-finals against Lorient, while their Champions League hopes are firmly alive after they beat Chelsea to reach the quarter-finals.

Discord among the squad could threaten their chances of claiming further silverware—particularly in European competition, where the standard of their opponents is much higher.

Any encouragement that could be gleaned from their players feeling strongly enough about tactics in a game that was virtually won by half-time is perhaps negated by Van der Wiel reportedly not joining the title celebrations after the match.

That said, the Dutchman isn't a particularly key player at the Parc des Princes—his 45-minute outing at Troyes was just his 14th Ligue 1 appearance this season. Meanwhile, the most important man in the side Ibrahimovic did not seem put out by the incident given he scored four goals in the second half and posted this on Twitter after the match:

The Swede seemed to confirm to beIN Sports (h/t BBC) after the game he would be leaving the club when his contract expires in the summer, so if the pair have had a serious falling out it shouldn't have long-term repercussions.

From now until the end of the season, Blanc will just need to monitor the situation to ensure it doesn't jeopardise their chances of further trophies.
