PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic reveals new tattoos for charity

The Swede scored the opener in his side’s 2-2 draw with Caen on Saturday, taking off his shirt to reveal a number of new tattoos which had social media abuzz over the reasoning behind his new ink.

After the game, Ibrahimovic explained that the temporary tattoos were part of a public charity drive to create awareness over global hunger.

"On Saturday against Caen, when I took my shirt off, everyone was asking what all the new tattoos were," he said.

"I had 50 names temporarily tattooed on my body. They are the names of real people who are suffering from hunger around the world.

"The tattoos have gone, but the people are still out there.

"There are 805 million people who are suffering from hunger around the world. I want you to see them, via me, to help the World Food Programme.

"This is the first time I have publicly engaged with a charity. If we can reach out to the world leaders, I am sure that together, we can solve the problem of hunger throughout the world."

Ibrahimovi’s goal was his 11th in 17 games this season, yet the result leaves the reigning Ligue 1 champions in third place in the French standings, two points behind leaders Olympique Lyon.
