Mario Balotelli Insists Zlatan Ibrahimovic Is Better Than Edinson Cavani

Nice striker Mario Balotelli believes there is not comparison between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani as the latter is better with his individual attributes. Ibrahimovic was Les Parisiens’ leading goal-getter prior to his departure during the summer of 2016, and Cavani has since surpassed the feat whilst commanding a regular role in the centre-forward position.

Ahead of Nice’s Ligue 1 clash versus Paris Saint-Germain, Balotelli was asked whether Cavani is a better player when compared to Ibrahimovic to which he replied: “You cannot compare Ibrahimovic with Cavani. Zlatan is better, even if I have a lot of respect for Cavani who is the best player in Ligue 1 because he scores a lot of goals. But Zlatan is in a whole different dimension.”

Cavani is excited about his new role in PSG

On July 1 of 2016, Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed a yearlong contract with Manchester United as the Swedish attacker made his way out of Paris Saint-Germain and joined the Premier League outfit.


This is a fairly significant loss for Paris Saint-Germain as they lost their top goal-scorer; Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the player that was consistently scoring over 20 goals in almost every season.
