PHOTO: Zlatan Ibrahimovic proudly buckles up hat-trick ball

Paris Saint-Germain's 3-1 win over Lorient on Friday saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic notch all three of his side's goals to register his first hat-trick since August.

To memorialize the feat, Ibrahimovic held on to the ball from the fixture. And judging by the picture he uploaded to Instagram on Sunday, the ball is receiving the kind of first-class treatment from Zlatan that one would expect a father to give his son.
