It’s the Zlatan Ibrahimović v Eiffel Tower beef that’s got Paris on tenterhooks, and it stepped up a notch when the iconic monument tweeted an open message to the PSG striker.
After scoring four goals in the 9-0 thrashing of Troyes, Zlatan stated that he would leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract ends at the end of this season.
He then joked that he would change his mind if the Eiffel Tower was replaced with a statue of him, but he probably wasn’t reckoning on the structure itself hitting back.

I like your humour, Zlatan, and the view of Paris is so beautiful from here – but the tower is me!
However, the Eiffel Tower wasn’t done there – it then issued these fighting words:
Dis @Ibra_official viendras-tu te mesurer à moi ce jeudi pour la #VerticaleTourEiffel ? Mes 1665 marches n'attendent que toi ! #Chiche ?
