As you probably aware, France beat Holland last night thanks to a couple of corking goals from Karim Benzema (watch it here) and Blaise Matuidi, with the latter just pipping the former in the ‘Goal of the Night’ stakes on style points for his bizarre “corkscrew back-heeled spider volley” to double Les Bleus’ lead just minutes after half-time…
And again, this time from the reverse angle…
C’est très beau, Monsieur. C’est très beau indeed!
In fact, it was enough to get Ibra up out of his enormous silver throne, with the Swedish goliath Tweeting his PSG team-mate the following morning to congratulate him…
Hey @MATUIDIBlaise I saw your goal last night. Magnifique. You must have been watching Zlatan in training. #DareToZlatan

Oh, he bloody well dared to Zlatan all right!
